==Class 4 tanks in service on the Severn Valley==
Class 4 tanks’ route availability was rated as ‘Blue’‘blue’, with the Severn Valley branch classified as ‘dotted blue’ from [[Bewdley]] to [[Buildwas]].<ref>[ http://www.michaelclemensrailways.co.uk/?atk=634 ‘Locomotive Route Availability’, Michael Clemens’ Railways] (Retrieved 30 March 2017)</ref> This should have restricted their speed to 25mph, and so limited their use.
