It initially saw only sparing use. The engine was run in from Bridgnorth as this makes correction of teething problems easier. 2022 saw a dry summer and autumn, and the loco was withdrawn from use during the [[Autumn Steam Gala]] due to starting fires: remedial spark arrestor modifications and testing saw it available for traffic again in November. A cold spell before [[Christmas services|Christmas]] meant that some 'Steam in Lights' trains were rescheduled to run in the evenings after Christmas, meaning for operational efficiency 75069 (already equipped with lighting) ran instead of 4930 on the daytime trains too. Then, in 2023 the SVR reduced SVR services due to cost of living problems , with few days when services started from Bridgnorth. On those, such as the [[Step Back to the 1940s]] weekends, with 4930 continuing its running in and glitches still being ironed out. The loco had however still run under 1,200 miles approaching a year in traffic. It then started to see more regular use, as running in was completed<ref>[http://www.4930hagleyhall.org.uk/news/news.html Friends of Hagley Hall web site, 8 July 2023]</ref>.
