As a lot of you will probably know, the Severn Valley Railway has been severley damaged by several landslips. As a result, both the SVR and EWS have contacted us to ask if they can borrow/move the Class 66 to the SVR temporarily. The container flats will also temporarily leave. The reason for this is that our Class 66 is the only EWS example not required in the Capital Stock. Rather than having to replace a loco with one of the special Class 37's, or loaning one from a different operator, we have decied to send our Class 66 to the SVR. We figured we didn't really need it at the moment, and that they need it a lot!
The loco will leave next monday, and we will be running a Mainline Diesel Gala to show that we will miss the loco. More details will appear soon, but it is currently envisaged to have the 66, 58, 47 and 08 in operation. If possible, the NSE DMU might also be brought down from Forbes.
