The locomotive was restored at ‘Steamtown’, now the site of West Coast Railways base at Carnforth. In May 1977, then owner Brian Thomas moved the locomotive to the SVR, where it continued in service until 1981. Following an overhaul 6960 returned to service in 1983; this second ‘ticket’ lasted the full 10 years to 1993. A third period of service began in late 1995, before the locomotive left the SVR in 1996.
While at the SVR 6960 hauled a number of rail tours on the main line, including being the first SVR based engine to haul a main line rail tour in April 1978. It also acquired the nickname nicknames ‘Ratbag Hall’and 'Raving Mad Hall'.
As of February 2015December 2016, 6960 Raveningham Hall is now based at the West Somerset Railway.
