20189 at Severn Valley Railway

The timetabled DMU was replaced with diesel hauled trains until Sunday 15 September. 20189 arrived at Bewdley at 13.00 with the 12.45 DMU service from Kidderminster. It was held here for quarter of an hour as Hagley Hall was running late over the single track section on the 12.00 steam service from Bridgnorth due here at 12.57.
BR Class 20 20189 is a Bo-Bo diesel-electric locomotive, otherwise known as an English Electric Type 1.
The locomotive was built at English Electric's Vulcan Foundry and entered service in the Nottingham Division (D16) on 21 July 1967 under its original number D8189. It was renumbered 20189 under TOPS on 1 January 1973. It was withdrawn from service on 1 September 1990.
The locomotive, which is main line registered, is owned by Class 20189 Limited. 20189 arrived on hire at the SVR on 19 July 2022. At the time the extremely hot weather and resultant fire risk had led to all steam services being withdrawn. In contrast today is very wet.
