    So we have over an hour in Kidderminster before proceeding to Bridgnorth, giving just less than an hour in Bridgnorth. I think this is a change to the originally scheduled itinerary, which gave the impression we would have over 2 hours in Bridgnorth (presumably without the Kidderminster stop). I presume we'll be going top and tails from Stratford then, as we'll need to back into the Kidderminster SVR platform once we leave the junction from the mainline.

    Only 53 minutes from arrival to departure at Bridgnorth. There go our plans for the afternoon. We were going to wander around to the Cliff Railway and go up to High Town for a leisurely meal.

    Be double headed for the rest of the day after Stratford. Believe a shunter will haul us into Kidderminster Town once off the main line

    4965’s evening diner has disappeared from the website and times have disappeared from RTT. Surely the loco hasn’t faced yet more gauging issues?

    Not tied in with WCRC decision to concentrate primarily on their own services first in 2018, and also VT attempts to become its own TOC?
    I too just went looking hoping to book on it, but can no longer find it...

    According to this month's Steam Railway magazine, it was dependent on a very large group who had booked several coaches. When they had to cancel it left the train financially unviable.
