    L95/5764 looks like Bridgnorth SVR and the last few of L44 looks like Quainton Road.

    I can confirm L95 (pic 64294204) is Bridgenorth - distinctive church tower and leaning chunk of castle wall centre background is unmistakable.

    Dont forget that L99 will be returned to service tomorrow (24/4) at the Spa Valley Railway, and will be in regular service for the rest of the season. SpVR also has LT engineers stock, so expect some cameos and photo charters with these.

    My personal opinion is that it looks alot better now than she did last time she was painted and will be a credit to our railway now and in the future, when it leaves for pastures new in october. keep an eye out for its apperances with our collection of LT stock in the coming months.
