6990 used on service trains
On October 8, 2013, an exchange of tenders took place between the DCRT and the SVR. This exchange will allow Hagley Hall to run with the correct Collet style tender formerly used by Witherslack Hall, which will now use the more appropriate Hawksworth tender formerly used by Hagley Hall instead.
Witherslack Hall, complete with the Hawksworth tender, visited the SVR in March 2016. The locomotive was unfortunately unable to take part in the Spring Gala, having suffered a ‘hot box’ during running trials after delivery. However the locomotive was repaired in time to work service trains over the following Easter weekend, and is pictured awaiting ‘right away’ at Bridgnorth on Good Friday afternoon.It also worked service trains on a further two weekends.
