SVR on 31st December 2008

Planning a trip up to the SVR tomorrow. Any idea what's rostered and which way they're likely to be pointing? Any help much appreciated. I'm assuming it's a 3 engine in steam timetable what with the additional 12.15 ex Kidd'y dining service?

 

7812 is the Bridgnorth Loco (FS)
42968 the First Bewdley loco (FN)
4566 the Second Bewdley loco (FN)
and 7802 on the 12.15 private dining train (FS)

I shall be around Bewdley for the majority of the day, come and say Hi

 

Thanks Tom - that's perfect! Will keep a look out for you if I make it up there tomorrow. Cheers

 

Hi Tom

Wife and I and Border Collie Sally will be travelling on Thursday - what locos on then? You know I prefer those in Green!

Hope your throats feeling better now.

 

Tom - just to clarify, is there still the loco swap at Bewdley on the first southbound service? Put another way, is this right?:

10.30 Ex Kidd - 42968
11.45 Ex Kidd - 4566
12.15 Ex Kidd - 7802
13.00 Ex Kidd - 7812
14.15 Ex Kidd - 42968
16.10 Ex Kidd - 4566

11.00 Ex BH - 7812
12.15 Ex BH - 42968
13.35 Ex BH - 4566
14.15 Ex BH - 7802
14.45 Ex BH - 7812
16.00 Ex BH - 42968

 

Hi Craig,
The engines tomorrow are booked to stay on their sets all day. The engine swap at Bewdley is now only booked on table D.

Adrian, on behalf of Craig - Thanks.

 

Canned the idea of taking the trip up to SVR today. Saw a weather warning for the Midlands - especially the Severn Valley - so thought better of it! Forecast looks slightly promising for the weekend so may have a go Sunday instead.

 

Any idea whats running on Sat/Sun? I'm hoping for a Manor and the Mogul.

Thanks,

George

 

You were right Craig, the mist hasn't properly cleared here yet.

 

Any idea what's rostered over the weekend? (First and second off Bewdley, and first off Bridgnorth if anyone knows would be very helpful!).

Cheers

 

I'll let you know in about an hour!

Well maybe only partly.... The roster hasn't made it to the MPD at Bewdley, but based on the order that the engines are parked up there, the 1st off the south end will be 42968 (2 round trips) and the 2nd will be 7802 (1 round trip). I have no idea what will be working the set off the north end I'm afraid.
I'm on the 1st one off Bewdley on Saturday, so do come and say hi if you are about.
Adrian.

 

Had a good day photting today - thanks to a_hassell and littlenobby for the info - meant I could plan today which made all the difference!

Made use of a visit to the Engine House for lunch and the Bewdley cafe for cuppa before leaving - all in all a good day.

 

Sunday should be:
42968 1st off Bewdley
7802 2nd off Bewdley

5164 & 7812 off Bridgnorth - one will work the Bridgnorth set and the other will go L/E to Kidder to work the diner.

I was on 42968 today - bloomin' freezing!

Hi Adrian

Sorry to hear you were freezing - should have been on a GW loco [-X

I had jobs to do today, but if tomorrow is as sunny, I shall def be there - can you remind me which way the locos are currently facing?

Thanks

Frustrating day really. As i was drivin through Kidder it was wall to wall blue sky but as i drove through Bewdley to head upto Bridgnorth i was hit with thick fog all the way upto Bridgnorth. (don't think i was the only one though who got caught out by this) Missed 42968 & 7812!!! ](*,) but drove back to Bewdley and got 42968 and 7802 at Bewdley Tunnel. Thanks Adrian for the steam out of the tunnel. \/ . Two cracking shots, which made up for the bad start.
