Bewdley Shuttle Photofeature
SLUG Officers visited Kidderminster Town station on the evenings of 1 September and 3 September and travelled on the Bewdley Trial Shuttle service to Bewdley and back. While all morning services and some evening services are operated using a Class 101 DMU, steam locomotives are used on days when the Severn Valley Railway is operating heritage services
With a Senior Railcard, the return fare was just £2.35.
Here are a few photographs taken on those two evenings. A larger version of each photo may be viewed by clicking on the thumbnail.
