Description
Exclusive clips of 47853 up to Abercynon to reverse down to Cathays Yard to collect a Northern Ball coach "Alnwick" back in February 2003. The whole area in now "Student Accommodation" with no signs of a railway ever being present. Even the 66138 down to Aberthaw is only "just a memory" as the power station closed a few years ago too.
