NEWS and UPDATES

17th May 2013
Don't forget that Saturday the 25th of May will see D821 running at the Severn Valley Railway celebrating her 40th year in preservation. Three new photos of Greyhound added courtesy of Matt Wilson, all taken at the Western Weekend where D821 ran in place of D1015, 6th of May 2013, view the gallery by clicking here.

16th April 2013
D1015 has now been successfully fitted with GSM-R and it only remains for the bogie change to take place before D1015 can return to traffic. Unfortunately this will not be completed in time to allow the loco to work the diesel leg of Vintage Trains tour on the 27th April or attend the Western Weekend at the SVR the following week.

9th April 2013
Two new archive photos added courtesy of Dave Hird, both at the old Reading Gas Works site featuring D821 and D7029. Click the loco numbers to view.
