→Hampton Loade derailment: BR 4345 Tourist Standard Open damaged
==Hampton Loade derailment==
On 28 September 2009, a derailment occurred when the tender of [[LMS Ivatt Class 4 43106]] hauling a down passenger train became derailed as it approached [[Hampton Loade]]. There were no injuries. The immediate cause of the accident was the leading right-hand wheel of the tender flange climbing over the rail at the site of a track twist. An incorrect spring had been fitted to this axle of the tender.<ref>[https://www.gov.uk/raib-reports/derailment-on-severn-valley-railway Rail Accident Investigation Branch] (retrieved 6 January 2017)</ref>[[BR 4345 Tourist Standard Open]] was also damaged.
