5764 was withdrawn from service in 1982 awaiting a heavy overhaul. The locomotive was steamed again in early 1989; the first test movement in steam being an unusual sight because the tanks had not been fitted! By June of that year a full return to service had been achieved in time for an appearance in the summer steam gala.<ref>SVR News 92-93</ref> During the course of the 10 year ‘ticket’ that followed, 5764 spent 1993 on hire to the South Devon Railway. 1998 saw another television appearance in the TV movie [[Cider With Rosie]]; service ended later that year.
Following a boiler exchange made possible by the 1978 acquisition of a ‘spare’,<ref>SVR News 133</ref> 5764 entered a third period of service in summer 2001.<ref>SVR News 136</ref> Another 10 year ‘ticket’ saw 5764 withdrawn from service in January 2011. The locomotive then moved into [[The Engine House]] on display in May 2011, but was removed to make a guest appearance as a static exhibit at the Gloucester Warwickshire Steam Railway’s Broadway station in May 2013. It has made subsequent appearances as a static exhibit at [[Severn_Valley_Railway_Charitable_Trust_Ltd#Fundraising events|Worcester Racecourse]] in 2015 and the 'Step Back to the 1940s' event in 2017. {{As of|20172018}} the locomotive is usually stored in [[Kidderminster Carriage Shed]], a facility not normally accessible to the general public.
