Severn Valley Spring Gala 23-25 March 2012

Can anyone confirm the availability (and price) of evening rovers please? I see they were mentioned earlier in the thread, but I can't seem to find them on the website.

 

Are Shareholders Tickets valid on Gala trains?

 

Thanks for all your help Tom and Andy, could you let me know which direction 2857 will be on Saturday (if it takes over from 42968) Thanks Phil

 

2857 facing Bridgnorth, 42968 Kidder

 

Yes, each sh ticket is worth an adult day rover or two child rovers.

 

Erm, I take it the TT with loco allocations on the main SVR site is wrong then as that says the reverse?

 

Thanks

 

£9.50 for Adults & Seniors(and members) , £5 for Children
It is valid for travel after 17.30 on Friday and Saturday.

 

Thanks

 

Yup. I'd recommend printing off a copy of the WTT on SVRlive for loco allocations/facings etc rather than the main website version. WTT is always gospel over public.

 

Brilliant, So correct me if I’m wrong but the Line up is (?)…

2857 facing North
42968 facing South
43106 facing South until turned at 10am Sat. Turned to face South again at 20.00 same day
5164 South
47406 South
69023 South, Turned to face North Sunday morning
1744 South, Turned to face North Sat afternoon
4464 North. Turned to face South Sunday morning
7812 North
4566 North, Turned to face South Friday afternoon before face North again Sunday morning
828 North

Cheers.

 

Bang on. I think 5164 also turns at some point...or originally did. I'm going to lose my mind keeping track of everything this weekend.
I'll be around the SVR tomorrow so I'll try to find out how 828 is doing then.

Enjoy it everyone!

 

Nice one, cheers. That's the valley £19 better off then

 

Oh, one more question!... Is D3022 doing the '08' diagram, or is there any chance of 3201 appearing on the Gantry to Platform working? :lol:

 

"Bittern" now safely onto SVR metals at Kidderminster this afternoon.

 

Will be starting out early from Chester to get to Bridgnorth hopefully before 8.30, and I'm looking forward to it being a great gala. I will be there on Saturday too, staying overnight in Bridgnorth.

 

Any further update on 828?

 

Bittern watched through Arley light engine at 16:55 this afternoon on it's way to BH for coaling after stabling it's support coach at Bewdley.

The Jinty was taken up to Bewdley earlier in the afternoon by the cl20 whilst in light steam.

No sign on 828 this afternoon, although I haven't been down to BH. Not necessarily a bad sign so wait and see for confirmation! Still hopeful it will make an appearance this weekend.

 

828 will not be available tomorrow (Friday) as it failed its steam test today, so 47406 will be doing its runs tomorrow on the goods in the morning facing South then it gets turned to face North for the rest of the day on arrival at kidder.

Also 4566 is at the moment facing South it gets turned during the morning to face North for 08.00 and 10.36 runs from kidder before getting turned to face South for the Prairie double header.

828 may be available for the Saturday depending on repairs

Information passed on to me from Tom!

 

Update Friday morning, Caley 828 in steam and being run-in on the Bridgnorth headshunt. Fingers crossed. (Having had the coupled wheelsets out for retyring, presumably the boxes have been remetalled)
