Kidderminster, UK. 21st March, 2018. A huge steam locomotive leaves Kidderminster railway station after a successful Spring Gala weekend at the Severn Valley Railway. The 7714 pannier locomotive is travelling to West Somerset Railway for a short visit. It is travelling by road on a low-loader trailer and surprisingly causes very little fuss as motorists, appreciating the vehicle's size, keep out of its way. Credit: Lee Hudson/Alamy Live News


After a successful Spring Steam Gala, this pannier steam locomotive (one of Severn Valley Railway's home-fleet) is off on its travels down to the West Somerset Railway by road. The 7714, seen here leaving the Kidderminster station, will be going on a 'working holiday', but will return home to the SVR after its short 'on loan' period supporting a fellow heritage railway.
