Ex Crosville CRG106 was used for the
trip. Seen here at Sainsbury’s
in Whitchurch – a good venue for a morning
coffee stop and for other purposes. |
Ex-SR Battle of Britain Class 34053 ‘Sir Keith Park’
displays the LUPTS headboard on the train used by the party for the departure
from Bridgnorth. |
|
The Engine House at Highley. No 3 ‘Sir Haydn’, on loan from
the Tal-y-Llyn Railway, act as a suitable place for
the headboard to rest while the party made their way round. |
The recently unveiled plaque at Kidderminster to Alan Atkinson,
the late and much missed former LUPTS President who died in 2013. |
|
The LUPTS party being shown round the carriage works at
Kidderminster. |
… and the signalbox. |
|
34053 pauses briefly for a group photograph before attaching onto
the front of the train which took the party back from Kidderminster to Bridgnorth. |

blind. |
