I had travelled from Arley to Bridgnorth behind this locomotive, and after taking this photograph would return to Kidderminster behind it.
By rights, this should be a photograph of 4930 "Hagley Hall", but 75069 replaced 4930 on the day's workings, and 4930 was on static display in Bridgnorth yard. I discovered later that 4930 had caused several lineside fires earlier in the gala, and had been placed on display pending modifications to try and prevent this re-occurring.
