SVR - 3rd January 2010 - last day of full-line operation until March?

Intending to make a trip up for what appears to be the last day of full-line services until the branch line gala in March. I'm trying to get my head round what should be quite a straightforward timetable, and hoping someone here can help?! The svr forum gives the loco diagrams as follows:

Bridgnorth

FN1: 46443 + 8 coaches
43106 LE to KR to work FS3

Bewdley

FS1: 6695 + 8 coaches
FS2: 5164 + 6 coaches
FS2: 43106 + 9 coaches

And the departures from each end of the line are:

Kidderminster dep 10.25 10.50 12.15 1.35 2.55 4.45

Bridgnorth dep 10.13 12.03 1.30 2.50 4.10 4.45

There is also a Kidd-Highley shuttle that departs Kidderminster at 12.45 and departs Highley on the return at 2.40

I assume it goes as 6695 on 10.25 ex Kidd, 5164 on 10.50 ex Kidd, 43106 on 12.15 ex Kidd, and 46443 on 10.13 ex Brid. Figuring out what locos haul the other departures isn't proving as straightforward as it really should be!

TIA

 

I'm planning on visiting tomorrow and am utterly confused by that whole diagram. What do the FS and FN denote?

 

I imagine S means South (Kidderminster) and N North (Bridgnorth). My reading would be that 43106 works the 12.45 Kidderminster to Highley & return, with 6695 on 10.25 & 1.35 ex-K, 12.03 & 4.10 ex-BN, 5164 on 10.50 & 2.55 ex-K. 1.30 & 4.45 ex-BN, and 46443 on 12.15 & 4.45 ex-K, 10.13 & 2.50 ex-BN.

 

I think Mighty Mogul has got it about right. From the 6695 thread it says it has failed, and according to Rick Eborall on SVRA forum it's due to superheater problems, so 42968 was out in its place.

My thinking for the diagrams is below.

From Kiddy

10.25 42968
10.50 5164
12.15 43106 (Diner)
12.45 46443 (Highley)
13.35 42968
14.55 5164
16.55 46443

From Bridgnorth

10.13 46443
12.03 42968
13.30 5164
14.40 46443 (Highley)
14.50 43106 (Diner)
16.10 42968
16.45 5164

Could be utter rubbish though!

 

4566 was due to remain at Bewdley during January and February while the line is closed North of Highley. I guess it depends if the sping can be changed at Bewdley, or whether 4566 needs to go to Bridgnorth for the winter.
Otherwise, the engines due to remain at Bewdley to work the winter services between Kidderminster and Highley are: 4566, 42968, 43106, and 46443, plus 7812 if boiler work has been completed.

 

Springs can be changed at Bewdley, dependent on how much solid wood we have in the wood pile to jack the engine up on!

 

Didn't the guys from Bridgnorth "pop" down to Bewdley to do jobs like that on the locos working Kiddy - Bewdley following the floods?

 

Cut up some sleepers, Tom We don't want to lose 4566 off Bewdley
