Talk:Former Residents

Revision as of 22:50, 7 January 2020 by Patrick Hearn (talk | contribs) (When did 46512 leave?)

I've added formerly resident diesels, based on a trawl through old SVR stock books up to 1990. If anyone remembers any others since, please feel free to add to the list. I guess Railcar 22 should go in this category.

Was 73006 loaned under the same circumstances as 73005 - i.e. did they come as a pair?

Also, what were the details of the "hire"? The note states "Hired to cover for D7633", which was sold to a private owner who moved it to the DFR, D7633 not having worked for two years. Was the arrival of 73005 (and 6?) some sort of reciprocal arrangement? --Danny252 (talk) 09:14, 17 June 2016 (UTC)

I answered my own questions! --Danny252 (talk) 09:41, 17 June 2016 (UTC)

Was 46512 a resident or not?

I've had a quick trawl through SVR News. When 46512 arrived by road from Barry in summer 1973 it was described as "...only a temporary visitor, being destined for the Strathspey Railway".[1] It left in spring 1975 after it had "...spent some time at Bewdley being repaired en route Barry to Aviemore".[2] It wasn't mentioned in the 1974 stock book, so my feeling is that it was here for engineering rather than being a resident.--Robin (talk) 20:25, 7 January 2020 (UTC)

Certainly temporary [1]. The Spring 1975 date is probably wrong, this image in the David Rostance Collection shows it still resident in November 1976. The Lottery Fund gives 1982, also given in the Preserved British Steam Locomotives website. If correct, does a nine-year temporary stay count as residence? Happy if you want to reverse the entries.--Patrick Hearn (talk) 22:50, 7 January 2020 (UTC)

From this week's featured article
E1682 is a BRBritish Rail or British Railways Mk 1 Buffet Restaurant carriage. It was acquired by the SVRSevern Valley Railway (BRBritish Rail or British Railways) Buffet Car Fund in 1981 and used for many years on the Severn Valley Venturer dining service. (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.
