It wasnt a particularly good week for Class 50 availability on the Severn Valley, as out of the 3 locomotives, 50044 'Exeter' was out of action on Friday and Saturday, 50049 'Defiance' failed late on Friday evening returning to action on Saturday afternoon. No. 50031 'Hood' is seen here departs from Bewdley with the mid morning departure to Bridgnorth, however it was about to fall victim to a technical fault as it failed further up the line at Northwood, requiring the assistance of another locomotive to drag it back.
