An intensive operation of Class 50 hauled services included local services between Kidderminster and Bewdley and Class 50 hauled ballast trains using the [[BR 'Seacow' 40t Bogie Ballast Hoppers]]. An exhibition of Class 50 memorabilia and models was on display in The [[Engine House]], and on October 6 [[50049]] was formally rededicated at [[Kidderminster]] by Commodore Robert Bellfield, Royal Navy, Commander Devonport Flotilla, Devonport Dockyard – the former home to training base HMS Defiance.
'Glorious' ran in mostly green undercoat, with the public invited to 'tag' the locomotive with graffiti in marker pen in exchange for a £5 contribution towards its repaint. An antecendent to the class, [[Diesel Locomotives hired by the SVR|hired-in 40106]], was spare loco and operated on the Saturday.
It recorded excellent passenger numbers of 3,574.<ref>SVR NBI</ref>
