The Severn Valley Wanderer 28th March

Post by mow »

THE SEVERN VALLEY WANDERER - Bridgnorth-Bristol [wcrc] 7802: Bristol-Hereford-Kidderminster.

This may well be the last main run for 7802 Bradley Manor when it leaves Bristol Temple Meads at 14.38 on Wednesday 28th of March.

Past Time Rail's website mentions that Bradley Manor will have to work hard to climb Filton Bank on the way towards the Severn Tunnel, Abergavenny, Hereford etc. I guess that the new netting may provide a challenge to photographers...

Is it 'ethical' to pack a pair of bolt cutters? Honestly I was only cutting back the vegetation...

Haven't yet seen timings on the UK Steam website.

I ended up taking some pictures of Bradley Manor as she ran slowly through Pilning Station, the train crew opened up the regulator after she passed the end of the platform. Had wondered if I should have taken pictures at Temple Meads, but...
