GWR 4930 Hagley Hall
Hagley Hall Preservation Story
After its withdrawal in 1986 pending overhaul, it was loaned in 1999 to the Macarthur Glen shopping centre in Swindon as a static exhibit. In June 2007 it was returned to the Severn Valley Railway to take its place in the new Engine House in March 2008
In October 2013, 4930 was moved from the Engine House to Bridgnorth so that the overhaul can begin. Now after 36 years since being withdrawn 4930 is currently on a series of test runs, and hopefully back on service trains in the next few months. (Wikipedia)
And today was the day GWR 4930 Hagley Hall on her first day of service in 36 years, climbs Eardington Bank in a nice patch of late afternoon sun. 9/9/2022
