COURIER CALLING:
After an absence of nearly two years, Western Locomotive Association’s Class 52 No. D1062 Western Courier made a triumphant return to traffic hauling the Severn Valley Railway’s 'Pioneer' service on July 11. The loco shared duties with classmate D1015 Western Champion. The WLA has announced that running of its locos will be carbon neutral, thanks to a tree-planting (carbon offsetting) scheme. On July 11, D1015 (left – see also page 86) arrives at Bewdley from Bridgnorth, as D1062 (right) prepares to take over.
