Saturday 14th was reasonably busy on the platform, despite the persistent change in weather throughout the day. There were intermittent rain showers and a couple of particularly heavy downpours.
Due to the availability of motive power, two of the services were hauled by diesels, one by class 20 and the other by class 50.
The two steam locos were 7812 off Bridgnorth and 5164 off Bewdley, with 46443 doing the footplate experience.
Availability of motive power will be sufficient tomorrow as additional engines 46443 and 44821 will be in service.
Sunday 15th was highlighted with the arrival of the two black 5s visiting for the 60s special weekend. 44821 today was being used to haul the dining service off Kidderminster, with 45407 spare in the yard at Bridgnorth.
Weather was much better today, being generally cooler and only a few light showers.
