SVR 1st September

You have to make the most of the sunny weather and 3 train timetable, well, 4 with the diner, as it’s back to the 2 train timetable during the week for the rest of the month. Bewdley again for lunch, arrived just as 3802 was entering platform 1 – very slowly, 7802 was on the train from Bridgnorth. Half an hour or so later, 7812 headed the diner towards Bridgnorth. Finally it was 43106 on the 4th train, which took me back to Kidderminster.

SVR 30th August

Not the usual walk today, as village fete or whatever in Arley village, meaning loads of traffic and the car park probably full – so we went to Bewdley instead. KC had her walk along the riverbank before going to the station for our sandwiches & a cuppa. Only saw 4 of the trains, D8188 was on the diesel turn & 3802, 5164 & 7812 were the other locos. No doubt 43106 was the one I didn’t see.

Whilst at Bewdley I heard the Berkeley flask train was on the way back & booked via Kidderminster, so it was a fast walk back to the car and then off to Stourbridge as I didn’t want to miss it – especially as it was hauled by a pair of 37s.
