7714 in Action + 46045 Covers Failed DMU | SVR Timetable A (Bridgnorth & Arley)
🔹 The 10:45 departure from Bridgnorth (booked DMU) was hauled by Class 46 No. 46045, stepping in to cover a faulty unit.
🔹 The 10:15 steam service from Kidderminster arrived into Bridgnorth at 11:25 behind GWR Pannier Tank No. 7714.
🔹 After arrival, 7714 moved into the yard for coal and water before preparing for its return working.
🔹 At 12:30, 7714 departed Bridgnorth back towards Kidderminster.
After the 12:30 departure, I headed to Arley to capture 7714 once again before calling it a day.
A brilliant mix of diesel substitution and classic Great Western steam!
