Severn Valley Railway - Diesel Gala
Saturday 8th October 2011

The Severn Valley Railway held their 4 day Diesel Gala between the 6th and 9th of October hosting a variety of traction for enthusiasts to enjoy. Rather than driving to the event, we opted for a full day of train travel via Brimingham New Street and Smethwick Galton Bridge on the way, and via Birmingham Moor Street (with a walk to New Street) on the way back. The Limited time at the event was not helped by the failure of 50031 on the 10:25 from Kidderminster to Bridgnorth, which failed near Northwood Halt delaying services by up to 45 minutes.
This gallery features images from the day, while not many lineside locations were able to be used we did at least make use of those we did visit.
