Description
Filmed when 57/3s were a mainstay on the North - South Wales Welsh Government Funded train from Holyhead to Cardiff and return. 4 Class 57s were repainted for this train, two with Arriva branding. This video covers various shots around the Hereford and South Wales area and a heads out run between Newport and Cardiff. These services ran from December 2008 until March 2012 with 57s, where it was replaced by 67s! Strange to think we may have 3 loco hauled sets in each direction by the end of this year..
