The day before the gala & a couple of the visiting locos will be working trains, the goods train will also be running.
I’ve edited all my video clips, joining some of them together to form short “episodes” of the day as it happened. My arrival was planned so that I would see the northbound steel train pass through Kidderminster main line station, and then I would head for the footbridge for the SVR trains.
