KC didn’t have her walk along the river today, as it had been raining, so straight up to the station. A train was due within minutes so a slight delay in buying our sandwiches. 42968 tender first with the Venturer diner heading for Kidderminster – then time for lunch.

Next trains to cross were 7812 northbound & 46443 southbound without stopping – either a charter or footplate experience.

The other 2 we saw were 4566 on the Limited diner, crossing with 7802 on a train to Kidderminster.
