A Class 68 Diesel was also scheduled to attend the event, but was unable to attend at the last minute due to locomotive shortages with its operator (DG Cargo)

A big thank you to all the staff, event organisers and volunteers at the Severn Valley Railway for another excellent event. And to all the loco owners who allowed the engines to be operated during the event.
