Another visiting locomotive is off to the Severn Valley Railway Diesel Gala

BR Class 33 33012 is currently en-route from the Swanage Railway to Kidderminster on the Severn Valley Railway ready to appear at the line’s Diesel Festival next week.

The Bo-Bo is currently hauling D4 and D182 to the Severn Valley Railway in a multi-loco convoy including 31128 and 37703, which will continue its journey north separately.

The 33 is visiting the Severn Valley Railway thanks to its owners, the 71A Locomotive Group and the Swanage Railway.

• Class 69 from GB Railfreight
• Class 66 or 68 from Direct Rail Services
