After photographing the train arriving at Kidderminster, I didn’t wait to see it cross onto the Severn Valley Railway (“we” were fed up with standing around on the bridge – those with short legs can’t see over the top!) and so we headed to Arley for our lunchtime snack. Surprisingly we reached Arley before the departure of 2857, so I did manage to photograph both steam locos running, 42968 being the other and seen arriving at Kidderminster whilst waiting for the tour. 150001 was leading as it arrived at Arley and there was just enough time for a few of the passengers to take some photos before it departed with 150106 being the rear unit.
