In summer 1985 46443 made three visits to Bristol for running the Bristol to Portishead shuttles.<ref group="note">Operationally 46443 could enter Bristol Temple Meads either from the west or routed to run via St Philip's Marsh and North Somerset Junction to enter the station from the east, so facing Portishead for the next service without running round. This had the effect of 46443 possibly turning direction regularly.</ref> Only the first visit resulted in a reversal to face south again. 46443's final reversal to face north followed a day of operating main line shuttles on 26 September 1987 to mark the last day of the old Moor Street Station.
'''[[45110]]''' arrived at the SVR in steam in August 1970 facing south. In August 1973 the locomotive attended a Derby Litchurch Lane Carriage Works "Open Day", travelling there and back in steam with [[LMS 24617 Corridor Composite]], [[LMS 26986 Brake Third Corridor]] and [[LMS 2886 Six-wheel Passenger Brake (later 32919)|Stove R 32919]] and thereby becoming the first Severn Valley locomotive and rolling stock to work unassisted on the BR network in preservation. The formation was turned at Burton, with 45110 returning facing southnorth.<ref>SVR News 29</ref>
'''[[2047 Warwickshire]]''' was delivered to the SVR in October 1967 facing south. It attended the Town and Country Fair at Stoneleigh in August 1974 and returned facing north.
