Port Of Par ‘Judy’ Leaves SVR | Bradley Manor Prepares For WSR Move & 71000 Ticks Over
During my visit, there was plenty of action across Kidderminster, including a variety of shunting movements as preparations were made for 7802 Bradley Manor ahead of its move to the West Somerset Railway.
71000 Duke of Gloucester was also drawing lots of attention while stationed in the bay platform, giving visitors a fantastic opportunity to see this iconic locomotive up close.
Elsewhere, progress continues at Kidderminster with ongoing platform extension works, showing how the railway is continuing to develop for the future.
A great day packed with interesting movements, famous locomotives, and behind-the-scenes railway activity!
