→813 in preservation: mileage
After returning to steam, 813 visited a large number of other railways around the UK before being withdrawn in 2009 for her next major overhaul at [[Bridgnorth Loco Works]]. This was completed by August 2016 and, after test runs, 813 was moved to Kidderminster for painting in September,<ref>[https://forum.svr-online.org.uk/viewtopic.php?t=3188&start=15 SVR Online Forum]</ref> and to Bridgnorth on 8 October for signwriting.<ref>[http://www.gwr813.org/insteam2016.html GWR 813 Fund 'In Steam 2016']</ref> The locomotive then featured in the Season Finale Gala held over the first weekend of November 2016.
At the end of 2019, 813 had recorded a total of 17,269 miles in preservation on the SVR. The reported total may include mileage on hire to other railways<ref>SVR News 210, SVR-based Steam Locomotive Mileage 2017-2019, Duncan Ballard</ref>.
