D1062 booked for Fish, Chips & Real Ale!

Join us on Saturday, 24^th August, where D1062 Western Courier will be deputising for a Class 50 and powering the 12.15pm & 3.35pm departures from Kidderminster, where you can purchase cask ale supplied by the award winning Bewdley Brewery, from the bar car!

Originally built in 1937, Gresley Buffet Car No. 643 ran into BR ownership, painted blue & grey around 1965 (this type of coach was often Western hauled on BR Western Region), before being withdrawn in 1976. The coach has since been thoroughly overhauled and is the centrepiece to the SVR’s LNER set, specially fitted out to provide beer from the pumps!

Also available on the day will be the classic favourite - fish & chips, freshly prepared from Captain Cod’s Fish Bar, which can be
collected from the SVR’s friendly meet & greet team on the concourse at Kidderminster, ready to eat on the 12.15pm & 3.35pm departures. Tickets for the meal must be purchased from the SVR in advance.

Relive the good old days, with classic Fish, Chips & RealAle to the classic sound of a Thousand, ready to transport you back in time…!
