Changes

:The first full 'Steam Weekend' took place on 14-15 October. [[Carriages formerly resident on the SVR# Carriages scrapped while at the SVR|GWR Brake Third 5136]] had been installed in the cattle dock at Bridgnorth and was brought into use as a refreshment coach.<ref>SVR News 163</ref> 3205 and 46443 worked a four coach formation with the last train of the evening being double headed with five coaches. Operations at the time were under the direction of [[Bill Gillett|Mr W Gillett]], the Chief Operating Inspector of BR’s Birmingham Division, and he allowed a full service to [[Hampton Loade]] to be run. The Railway had not yet received the Light Railway Order allowing rides to be given to the general public. However SVR members could travel, so the Railway did a brisk trade in ‘Day Member’ tickets, while full membership of the [[Severn Valley Railway Society]] also benefited, passing the 1,000 mark by the end of the year.
