Changes

In February 2022 the SVR announced that later in the year Taw Valley would temporarily appear in a brand-new purple livery and carry a different name, to be selected by public vote, to commemorate The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee<ref>[https://www.svr.co.uk/2022/02/10/a-purple-patch-for-the-severn-valley-railway/ SVR Website] (retrieved 18 February 2022)</ref>. After repainting, the locomotive first appeared as a static exhibit at the [[Spring Steam Gala]] as '''No 70 'Elizabeth II'''', although without name plates.

On Saturday 23 July 2022 the SVR hosted a leg of the Queen's Baton Relay as part of the final build-up to the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games. The baton travelled from Kidderminster to Bridgnorth aboard a special train piloted by 'Elizabeth II', double headed with visiting Class 20 20142 owing to fire risk resulting from the exceptionally hot weather at the time.
