The special guest locomotive for the SVR's Spring Steam Up has been announced as GWR 'Saint' No.2999 'Lady of Legend'. The new-build 'Saint' had been scheduled to make a gala appearance at the SVR in 2020, which was cancelled due to the Covid outbreak. This year's visit to the SVR will be the first time No.2999 will have operated away from her Didcot home.
