SVR General Discussion

The feeling is mutual. I thought I was the only one, and been worrying since I bought the ticket (1 ticket for 3 people)

 

Nope, another Welsh visitor here too - seems the SVR have timed this one to perfection.

 

This might be of interest for someone.

Has anyone received their tickets for the Spring Steam Up ? Thanks

 

Tickets aren’t being issued, you check-in at the Booking Office on the day to collect your wristbands. Details can be found on your email confirmation.

Thanks,
Lewis

 

Do you know the times for these dates above what time the 1st train sets off from Kidderminster and the the 1st train out of Bridgnorth?

Thanks for your reply, looks my email's never arrived, at least I've got my booking reference number, just need to arrive at Kiddi' in plenty of time

 

Don't count on Lady of Legend running as numerous problems were discovered with the locomotive when it arrived at Bridgnorth. We can only hope that the problems are overcome.

 

And your source of that information is??

 

In part you are correct. Problems were found but it has been put through the works at Bridgnorth and has just left Bridgnorth on its scheduled test run.

As has been mentioned it’s best to leave these comments until official statements have been released.

 

I happily stand corrected, the image I was sent showed 2999 in the shed with brake systems removed, so the staff have done a bang up job if that's the case.

 

2999 arrived at KR 1220 ish and after a short wait left on a load test run.

 

It's currently on its way back to Bridgnorth on a loaded test run with the GW set.

 

Was the problem "nobody had put a fire in it"?

 

And has just absolutely thundered up Eardington..! Should be a good weekend!

 

Good News!

 

Did you film it?

 

Someone's put some footage up in both the SVR and "Everything Great Western" Facebook groups which is rather good! Both are private groups so you need to be both a Facebook member and a member of those groups to view.
