Taw Valley’s heavy overhaul had begun by the spring of 2006<ref>SVR News 153</ref>. This overhaul was completed in time for Taw Valley to re-enter service on 16 May 2015, hauling an incoming "British Pullman" rail tour consisting of 12 coaches and a Class 67 diesel from Bewdley to Bridgnorth,<ref>I. Walker, "Steam Locomotive Notes", ''SVR News'' 190 (2015) p. 28</ref> and an SVR service from Bridgnorth to Kidderminster. Taw Valley is the only SVR steam locomotive, apart from 600 Gordon, equipped to work with air braked rolling stock.
Taw Valley is currently in BR Green livery featuring the ‘Late Crest’. The coat of arms on her name plate were not carried in service. At the end of 2019, 34027 had recorded a total of 82,767 miles in preservation on the SVR.
