Severn Valley Spring Diesel Festival - 18-20/05/17

Shaping up to be just as good as last year if not better. 16 visitors have been confirmed so far to work alongside the home fleet. They are;

D8568, 20189, 20205, 31271, 33035, 33108, 45041, 45060, 47192, 47828, 50008, 55022, DB Loco (Likely to be a 60), GB 66, GB 73 and the first ever passenger duty for a DRS Class 88!
These will join forces with home fleet D2961, D3586, D4100, 12099, D9551, 50031, 50035, 50049, D1015 and D1062 the latter appearing in resplendent BR Blue! (All subject to availability).

The two sole surviving Class 45/0 "Peaks" will work alongside one another in preservation for the very first time.

D2961 will perform special brake van rides at Highley. An absolute treat considering it is usual confined to the boiler shop at Bridgnorth.

A rake of Mk2 Air-conditioned coaches is also being hired in for the event.
