:The [[Severn Valley Railway (Holdings) PLC|SVR]] launched a share issue to raise money for the new station. The initial target was £300,000 with a minimum of £90,000 by the end of February 1984. (£230,000 was achieved by the deadline, the total exceeded £370,000).
:The Board announced a number of changes to the locomotive fleet. [[LMS Stanier Jubilee 45690 Leander |45690 Leander]] had been acquired from ‘Leander Locomotive Limited’ (LLL). The purchase also included unrestored sister [[LMS Stanier Jubilee 45699 Galatea|45699 Galatea]], then at Carnforth, which could be restored or used as a source of spares for Leander. To finance the deal, the [[LMS Ivatt Class 2 46443|Ivatt Class 2 46443 ]] had been sold to LLL and would move to Loughborough in June/July 1984. Finally [[WD 193 Shropshire|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.
