D1062 'Western Courier' is expected to be running the diesel diagram on the Severn Valley Railway this Saturday, after a long extensive overhaul, and repaint into Maroon with small yellow warning panels.

Hopefully should be a faultless day for all concerned, I'll be out to photograph it :)

It certainly looks good, a lot better than when I saw it back in April. It would look great paired with D1015 8).

Might aswell be not saying that's a bad thing although it hasn't got that light in it's headcode box unlike D1015.

It's a joke we were having with a member of the WLA yesterday at Crewe, at how you never see 1015 and 1062 together, and how D1015 is always running around with nameplates from classmates :lol:

(By the way if anyones interested the beasty that is 37906 is on the same diagram the following week, should be a good thrash)

Indeed the 52 is out Saturday, unfortunately i'm rostered on it and it's the Blood and Custard set (will change as under Murphy's law). Will be nice to meet some members of the forum so come and say hello on the train.

Interesting to see 37412 and his brain of knowledge :lol:

Adults it's £13 children £6.50 and OAPs is £11 for the whole day. If you have a BR Pass it's £3.50.

First Class is £3 for Adults and £1.50 for children for each single trip. There is First Class right at the front and right at the back, if your after the noise then you'll need First Class.

10:00 off Kidderminster
11:14 into Bridgnorth

11:55 off Bridgnorth
13:07 into Kidderminster
Time for Captain Cod chippy
14:00 off Kidderminster
15:11 into Bridgnorth

15:45 off Bridgnorth
16:53 into Kidderminster

Do you (SVR) have anything running on friday of the diesel type cause I feel like an evening spent behind some truly ledgendary traction and maybe a few beers.

There's a Diesel driving school going around so you can take pictures of that. Sadly nothing on a service train.

I notice that the Blood and Custard set is rostered for the diagram with 37906 the followng week and as you say it will be FC right behind the engine, that happened the last time I had 906 at the valley in May!
