D8568 Eardington 20 May 2023

A small train for a small loco. Sole surviving Class 17 D8568 passes Eardington on 20 May 2023 with the 17:05 Hampton Loade to Bridgnorth shuttle, during the Severn Valley Railway's Diesel Gala. Due to their chronic unreliability, most of the class had very short lives on BR, but some did survive long enough to get a coat of blue paint, so this is not a fictitious livery.
