An Afternoon With The SVR Flagship 4930 Hagley Hall 04/09/2024

Hello & Welcome to Harnetty Railways
Originally intending on seeing Locomotive Services Group's B1 61306 Mayflower as she worked Saphos Trains's last Welsh Marches Express trip f 2024.
Sadly due to a fatality in the Taunton area causing all lines to be blocked preventing Mayflower from leaving The West Somerset Railway to Bristol Temple Meads to join the train which was being diesel hauled from Bornemouth earlier that morning.
Caz of the delay the trip went on with diesel traction to Shrewsbury & some 3 hours late Mayflower was released to work only the return leg of the trip.
So a back up plan at short notice was made with a visit a trip to The Severn Valley Railway instead to do an on board bash 1 way from Kidderminster to Bridgnorth behind the railway's flagship loco 4930 Hagley Hall during the afternoon.
It was a great move to do this back up plan as the hall ran magnificently with 9 coaches in tow especially on the climbs out of Highley & Eardington Bank.
We end at Bridgnorth as we see him run round his train as he prepares to head south back to Kidderminster.
Thanks for reading enjoy the film.

Hagley Hall is music to my ears. What's not to love about her?
