Kidderminster, UK. 1st August, 2020. A Midlands' major tourist attractions was back on track on 1st August after months of forced closure due to coronavirus lockdown. The first passenger service, seen here leaving Kidderminster's Severn Valley Railway station, was fully booked - visitors happy that staff are taking every possible precaution to ensure their safety & enjoyment of this magnificent heritage railway. It left with a resounding tooting of its onboard whistle - something that enthusiasts and locals have truly missed, followed by vintage steam locomotive 7714 taking the 2nd departure.
