Since it cropped up on the Diesel page, I wondered if we had any steam locos visit and actually work along the branch. I remembered 9600 and 9466 arriving at Kidderminster in 2009 when 4566 and 5764 worked the tour to Bridgnorth, and promptly found I'd also photographed both 9400 and 9466 at Highley in November 2017. I think that qualifies 9600 to be added. It would probably be pushing it to add locos (if any) which brought railtours in but were only serviced at Kidderminster, and can't think of any others that worked along the branch, but open to ideas. --[[User:Robin|Robin]] ([[User talk:Robin|talk]]) 15:23, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
:I too had incoming railtours in mind. I remember about 2016 an incoming tour (with an LNER Pacific?) with Taw Valley taking it forward from Bewdley and huge crowds on the platforms. IIRC, LSL ran a series of incoming tours with some locos detaching at the south end of the line and some at BH? NB where we've said Kidderminster as the trigger for including them, I woder whether BY would be better. As a diesel tour I've had mainline locos certainly to Foley Park, if not BY--[[User:Patrick Hearn|Patrick Hearn]] ([[User talk:Patrick Hearn|talk]]) 16:54, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
