Talk:Diesel Locomotives hired by the SVR

Robin has added 20189. It has run scheduled passenger services this week double headed with air-only braked and LT liveried 20142, also owned by 20189 Ltd. Should we add that as well? A deduction from the latest diesel roster updated 19th July is that as 20142 and 20189 don't appear after tomorrow, so it's been a very short hire--Patrick Hearn (talk) 21:13, 22 July 2022 (UTC)

I was probably a bit premature in adding 20189 (which the roster suggested worked single for Thursday and Friday but I don't know if that was what actually happened?). I see 20189 is rostered solo tomorrow, with 20142 joining 70 on the Baton Train. If they're only working this week and then leaving I'd be inclined not to bother with specific pages for them. Maybe re-write the page as 'short term hires' and include both, or probably better to delete the page altogether and just mention them in the July 2022 history page. --Robin (talk) 22:24, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
All noted, thanks. They're back on the Valley and working, so I'm just letting things lie for the moment. I wonder if we might instead have a 'locos of 20189 Ltd' page to cover all three?--Patrick Hearn (talk) 10:46, 27 July 2022 (UTC)
20189 was rostered for today with 1501 (and is still shown as such on the SVR website as I type) but when I turned up for a ride it was 20142 instead. A personal 'cop' for me either way so not worried. 20189 was in the MPD. Given they don't seem 100% sure themselves what's running where and when, I'll go along with letting it lie for a few more days and see what develops.--Robin (talk) 21:39, 27 July 2022 (UTC)

Welcome to the Severn Valley Railway Wiki

From this week's featured article
Eardington is situated on Eardington Bank, mid-way between Bridgnorth and Hampton Loade. In recent years, rebuilding the platform was completed in 2019 and the water tower was dismantled in 2021. Although the station no longer features in daily operations, it resumed use during gala events in 2023 more than 40 years since regular timetabled trains ceased. (Full article...)

For 101 years between 1862 and 1963, the Severn Valley Railway formed part of the national railway network, running for 40 miles between Hartlebury and Shrewsbury. Established as a separate company, it was mainly operated by the Great Western Railway (GWRGreat Western Railway) and later by British Railways (BRBritish Rail or British Railways).

The present day Severn Valley Railway (SVRSevern Valley Railway) was established in 1965 to preserve part of the line as a heritage railway. Today it has six stations and two halts and runs for 16 miles along the Severn Valley between Bridgnorth in Shropshire and Kidderminster in Worcestershire, following the course of the River Severn for much of its route. Operations involve a mixture of steam and heritage diesel-hauled services.

This unofficial website is a project aimed to collect information and record events relating to the SVRSevern Valley Railway, both past and present.

In April 2023 the SVRSevern Valley Railway announced the launch of a Survival Fund to enable it to overcome the current financial crisis and implement longer-term plans for its future. Information and details of how to donate may be found on the SVRSevern Valley Railway's Survival Fund page.
