Update 366. 50031 on Footplate Experience at Bewdley, Severn Valley Railway. 25/06/10

50031 was one of the locos seen on my trip to Bewdley by train from Kidderminster. It was seen arriving then running round the 8-coach train. At Kidderminster, a Bristol double-decker, GHN189, was seen in the car park. This was to be used giving visitors a short bus ride from the station. The other locos working services were 4566, 5164 & 7812. A very smart looking GWR sleeping car, no. 9084, is also seen in the bay at Kidderminster. Other photos show the “Dig For Victory Garden” on the station forecourt, also the warden’s post – these are part of the 1940s weekend attractions.
