Railway Herald
On 30th July 2025, three heavyweights from the Severn Valley Railway are seen with a lightweight companion as they leave the main line at Tyseley to enter the through sidings. SVR residents Class 50 No. 50007 Hercules, Class 46 No. 46045 and Class 50 No. 50033 Glorious made their way from Kidderminster to the Greatest Gathering at Derby via Leamington Spa. Here they picked up Metropolitan Railway No. 12 Sarah Siddons which had been left behind five days earlier with overheating traction motors. The convoy made slow progress north allowing Sarah Siddons to rest from time to time hence the stop at Tyseley.
