SVR Autumn Steam Gala Saturday 19th September 2026

After staying overnight at The George Gurkha hotel at Bridgnorth, Saturday looked to be a better day weather forecast stated sunny spells all day, didn't say there would be a few very heavy showers, thankfully i was at Highley under one of the large umbrellas at the Engine House so stayed dry.
Most of the day was spent at Highley, a nice place to watch the trains pass, plus a real ale bar and barbeque outside.
First off this photo of Bridgnorth shed with 13268, 1501 & 7714

3850 having now been turned since it last passed Highley at Kidderminster heads for Bridgnorth


I then went down to Kidderminster for a few hours before my train home, what a nightmare that was, i hope nobody else got caught up in the mess at Wolverhampton station!!!

Anyway photos of Scots Guardsman & 4150 at Kidderminster and loads more from the day
