Cheers,

 

A great day out. Trains nicely loaded and frequent. I arrived late morning, comfortably looked around Bridgnorth, shuttle to Bewdley, train to Highley and another to Bridgnorth. No rush and back at Kidderminster by 5. Slight disappointment the boiler shop was closed but hey. The MPD extended, with portakabins removed etc looks a lot more capable. With the sun out and the vegetation culled the railway looked in the best shape I have seen it.
