    On a SVR Traffic notice, I see that Class 50s are due to arrive at Kidderminster on Tuesday 20/03/12. I assume these are the fifty fund locos from Cardiff, but does anybody know which locos will be in the convoy?, and are there any times for the working? Or even the route, eg via Hereford or Gloucester. Any info much appreciated.

    I would expect the route to be through Gloucester. That's what they do usually.

    I've put out a request on South West Rail Gen to see if anyone has any news of this working.
    I'll report back a.s.a.p. Thanks for the heads up. <BJ>

    SVRA forum last week suggested: ".. the move will be including a trip to Derby, where 37308 will be depositied for further contract welding repairs to be carried out". Not sure if that is the case now though
