Diesel galas return with SVR’s Spring Diesel Bash
THE first main diesel event following the pandemic lockdown is the Severn Valley Railway’s Spring Diesel Bash on May 13-16.
To comply with Covid-19 restrictions, passengers choose the train and haulage type, and are assigned a private compartment or sociallydistanced table. There will be three round trips, clocking up 96 miles with the chosen motive power, plus additional trips behind Class 17 No. D8568. The only stations with access to trains are Bridgnorth and Kidderminster. Passengers can alight at each terminus only, take photos if desired, and where the refreshment rooms, pubs and toilets will be open.
