Railcar 22's delivery
The SVR News article refers to the four wagons being collected from Alveley Sidings by 3205, but doesn't say how they got there in the first place. Did they come all the way from Bournville by rail, or were they brought by road as far as Kidderminster or Bewdley? We will probably never know. By the way, while looking at their website, I noticed that the company consistently refers to itself as "Cadbury" rather than "Cadbury's", only using the apostrophe when the name is used as an adjective such as "Cadbury's Chocolate". I've therefore done the same in this article --[[User:Robin|Robin]] ([[User talk:Robin|talk]]) 16:29, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
:A clue might be the arrival the previous month of [[Railcar 22]], tripped from Kidderminster as part of the Alveley empties coal train and again collected by 3205. With no evidence, I suspect this leg of the Cadbury vans might have been a repeat performance? It doesn't cover the Bourneville to Kidder query, but as 2047 was delivered by road straight to BH in Oct 1967, it makes it less likely to have the vans delivered by road to Kidder and then tripped to the SVR boundary? Circumstantially, it points to rail throughout?--[[User:Patrick Hearn|Patrick Hearn]] ([[User talk:Patrick Hearn|talk]]) 20:35, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
