Spa Valley Railway 13th April 2024 - Breakdown!

A couple of weeks ago, I went to the Spa Valley Railway. It was a great day, with a few conundrums! The 73 broke down coming into Eridge, meaning the steam loco had to propel into Groombridge so it could run round - and a hat was lost too! This is the video I filmed that day - enjoy!

Thank you so much for visiting and videoing your day at the railway. Do come and see us again soon!

No problem, it's a lovely line! I'm a northerner though, so unfortunately I can't say when the next time I'll be there is! Do you volunteer there?

@@PHsRailwayVideos I was the fireman on 828 that day. Thank you, we do our best to keep it all up together.

@@Simplex1988 Brilliant! I'm a volunteer on the Middleton Railway in Leeds, I hope to be at that level some day - still need the hours though! I bet it was hard coordinating the propelling, I've never had to do something like that!

They were a great addition to the WSMT fleet in Scotland in the mid to later 60s, when I worked there.. They did great service on the main route from Glasgow to the Ayrshire coast, I think all were Alexander bodied and, in my opinion, much smarter than the absolute flat fronted ones eleswhere,

[@PHsRailwayVideos]

Yeah, they seem quite versatile engines! Did you work on BR?

Don't think I'd fancy bowling along through a Scottish highland winter in 828's open cab.
Was that bloke at 4:20 pointing at you ? "Look! - there's another of those bloody youtubers - check your zips lads . . ."
Yet another line I've never visited . . .
Lot of shunting going on.
Great shots again though ..

Thank you! I imagine 828 wasn't the best loco to work on in the Scottish weather - lovely on the Spa Valley though! I don't think he was pointing at me, I think he was pointing at the hat that fell off the bridge when the train came in. Still, it's amusing to imagine!

I went down whilst I was in the area last August. Eridge is a very unique station as it is used 50/50 by Southern & the SVR

[@PHsRailwayVideos]

@@terrier_productions Yeah, that's why 73140 had to be propelled when it broke down outside of the platform!
