I’m sure the SVR leg will be out on SVR live in due course.

 

I'll post it when I get it!

From the SVR Unofficial forum:

"SVR timetable alteration for the charter:
http://www.svr.co.uk/NewsItem.aspx?a=805
http://www.svr.co.uk/pdf/Special Events/SVR Saturday 11th November - Timetable Alterations.pdf"

"Without the changes explicitly marked, I think a summary of the changes is as follows:

2.45 ex KR to run 45 minutes later, departing KR 3.30.
4.50 ex BH to run 45 minutes later, departing BH 5.35."

hello
do we know if it is to be top and tailed through out !!

 

Double-headed on the SVR

 

Website states top and tailing to Stratford. It doesn’t state a change in formation after Stratford but as in previous runs it’s usually double headed for the remainder of the day.

Speaking of the website, times for SVR are outlined on the Vintage Trains website; http://www.vintagetrains.co.uk/rambler12nov2016/

 

Top and tail out of Tyseley platform towards Birmingham then change of direction without any run around to get to Stratford.

 

hello again
do we know the track arrangement at kidderminster can they run directly off the main line on to svr metals and on to bridgenorth or do they have to reverse if they need to reverse would it mean top and tailing from stratford !!

 

Have a look at the Vintage Trains 2017 thread, all the info you require is there.

Hello. Thanks for the replies I couldn't remember which way round the junction was facing
Regards

 

Will the train have steam heating ?

 

The train is due to reside at the SVR Kidderminster station from 13-37 to 14-45.

 

SVR will have both 1501 and 7714 in service on Saturday, so once we arrive there will be 4 Panniers operating on the railway. Should be quite the afternoon!

 

The loco allocations are not yet up on the SVRLive website, but hoping for some "Pannier" action tomorrow.

Following a recent visit I can confirm that coming back from Bridgnorth with 7714 and load 6 was very much more uplifting than a peak season service of say a Bulleid and load eight or more !

Is it known which way 9600 and 9466 will face on the Stratford - Bridgnorth leg?

 

"It is planned that the train will have arrived at BH with 9466 leading 9600, both bunker first, the train should depart BH with 9600 leading 9466."

(2nd hand, so given without responsibility!)

Well I'll be there, all being well with the Spitfire getting me 120 miles from London tomorrow morning. Bring on the panniers!!!

 

Not quite true - 7714 replaces 1501 on BS2 diagram at 11.25, two hours before the tours arrives at Kiddy.
