BR Class 33 33012 is currently en-route from the Swanage Railway to Kidderminster on the Severn Valley Railway ready to appear at the line’s Diesel Festival next week.

The Bo-Bo is currently hauling D4 and D182 to the Severn Valley Railway in a multi-loco convoy including 31128 and 37703, which will continue its journey north separately.

The 33 is visiting the Severn Valley Railway thanks to its owners, the 71A Locomotive Group and the Swanage Railway.

This now means that the gala is expected to include the following locomotives:

  • No. 46045
  • No. 44004 (D4) ‘Great Gable’
  • Class 69 from GB Railfreight
  • Class 66 or 68 from Direct Rail Services
  • Class 14 D9551
  • No. 50035 Ark Royal
