It ran with an even smaller loco, Port of Par ‘Judy’ on an intensive shuttle service between Kidderminster and Bewdley throughout the Gala.
There was a web page giving full details including the daily timetables.
This included an early morning shuttle service on each day featuriing another loco in addition to Pug 19 and Judy, the timetable showed that on Sunday 19th it was to be 71000 Duke of Gloucester but this proved impossible due to technical issues coupling 19/11243 to 71000.
