:The Board announced a number of changes to the locomotive fleet. 45690 Leander had been acquired from ‘Leander Locomotive Limited’ (LLL). The purchase also included unrestored sister 45699 Galatea, then at Carnforth, which could be restored or used as a source of spares for Leander. To finance the deal, the Ivatt Class 2 46443 had been sold to LLL and would move to Loughborough in June/July 1984. Finally WD 193, which had been on loan to Hereford since January 1981, was in the process of being sold.
'''December 1983''': Four locos hauled more than 30,000 passengers on the Santa services. A decade earlier a single saddle tank [[WD 193 Shropshire|WD 193]] had done the job single-handed.
Locomotives used and mileages recorded were as follows:
