A steam locomotive not seen at the Severn Valley Railway for 30 years is set to return at the heritage line's Autumn Steam Gala this year.The Severn Valley Railway has confirmed that LMS Jubilee No 45596 ‘Bahamas’ will be joining the line-up. The four-day event takes place between September 19 and 22
"And, let's not forget that another Jubilee class locomotive played a very important role at the SVR 40 years ago - it was LMS 5690 'Leander' that hauled the very first passenger service from Bridgnorth to Kidderminster on July 30, 1984, when we opened Kidderminster Town station to the public. We’re celebrating the anniversary of that momentous day next month, across the weekend of July 27 and 28.
This feature was intended to improve overall performance, largely caused by the poor quality of post-war coal. The concept was developed in the mid-1940s but it wasn’t until 1961 that ‘Bahamas’ became the only one of its class to receive the modification.
