A good selection of road vehicles at Kidderminster, Bewdley, Arley, Highley & Bridgnorth. I think I managed to photograph all the vehicles I saw at each of the stations but haven’t tried to match them to the list of vehicles from the SVR web site - that will keep me busy for a while, no doubt I’ll get stuck on a few of the vehicles, I usually do!
Locos seen in action were:- GWR 2-6-2T no. 4566 GWR 4-6-0 no. 7812 “Erlestoke Manor” LMS 2-6-0 no. 46443 DMU 3-car set
I always try to visit all the stations to photograph the road vehicles. In previous years I have run out of time or darkness has beaten me, but a sunny day with an early start on the DMU from Bewdley got me to Highley in plenty of time for some photos before the arrival of the first train from Kidderminster. From there, 46443 hauled the train to Bridgnorth, once again there was plenty of time for photos before heading south to Arley to meet up with Margaret & KC for lunch. After sandwiches & a cuppa, more photos, also a few shots of 4566 heading north. I caught the next train to Kidderminster, headed by 7812. A walk through the concourse and to the front of the station for yet more photos before returning to Bewdley behind 7812 again for the final set of photos before heading home.
