Bodfish Trophy added
The weather was uncharacteristically poor for that period, dull and hazy. So, while the same few monochrome photographs have appeared of day 1, there is little of quality of this event.

==The Bodfish Trophy==
In the later 1970s or early 1980s, Jim Bodfish in a shunting mishap succeeded in demolishing the [[Bridgnorth|Hollybush Road carriage sidings buffer stop]], and so failed to extend the SVR northwards towards Shrewsbury. A ''Bodfish Trophy'' was created, to be presented to drivers who subsequently made the same error, by welding metal remains from the demolished buffer stop together and fixing to a toilet seat to act as a plinth<ref>SVR News 210</ref>.
