SVR General Discussion

A further loaded test run for 2999 today as well as 2857 and 7714 running light BH-BY ready for tomorrow.

 

The saint out on test again today...

 

Lovely. Thanks to all at MPD and elsewhere for all their work. The carriage rake looks good too.

Excellent taster of events to come, good to see the have an aircon set, proper stock for the diesel bash!!

 

Does anyone know what the locos are facing during the steam up please?

 

That video of 2999 has really got me excited. I've been behind her a couple of times at Didcot but it will be good to see her stretching her legs properly. 2999 up Eardington Bank will definitely be the highlight of the day for me.
I'll be on train 2 on Saturday, in the open coach. 09:15 from Kidderminster.

 

2999 due to face South (facing KR) due to be turned tomorrow.

6960, 7714, 2857, 813 and 34027 all face North (facing BN)

43106 faces South (facing KR)

Obviously depends whether SVR want to turn anything else between now and then

 

Thanks Ben really appericate it

 

Think that stock behind 34027 is from Saphos not the SVR’s own. Have a feeling that’s from the tour with Braunton last October.

 

Will there be a link to the timetable that can / will appear before the event for those intending to go lineside ?

 

A timetable for those intending to be on the trains would be useful too!

I hope so too.

 

Same here. I just look on the SVR website and just put down for departures for riding, not like what time does a particular loco departs at Kidderminster and Bridgnorth etc?

 

I had this sent to me when I asked

Andrew

 

Thanks for that, now I can plan it out where to film etc.

 

Coming into Kidderminster? Who’s the wreath for? Is it for Prince Phillip?

 

Yes - being carried all week on certain locos.

 

And it is coming into Kiddy, Hoo Road Bridge.
