In September 1979 it double headed with fellow SVR locomotive LMS 5000 from Hereford to Chester and return with the SVRA “The Inter-City” charter.
4930 hauled the official reopening train for Kidderminster Town Station on 30th July 1984. It made a number of other [[The Severn Valley Railway on the main line | mainline appearances]], notably a storming double-headed run with 7819 Hinton Manor over the South Devon banks during the GWR 150 celebrations in 1985.
4930 was withdrawn from service in October 1986 following failure of several boiler stays. It has not steamed since, spending the intervening years in store and on static display at the Designer Shopping Complex (sited on the former GWR Swindon Works), and latterly in [[The Engine House]] at Highley. It was moved from there to Bridgnorth on Sunday 6th October 2013 for the long-awaited overhaul to begin.
