Description
Re introduced in the new winter timetable, I went out to capture one of the first runs down from Crosskeys into the twin tunnels at Newport and then up to Park Junction where the line joins the track from Cardiff to Ebbw Vale. All bridges are proving difficult to record from as their walls have been lifted for safety reasons; power cables etc. One a very misty day, and almost empty train ( due to lack of publicity) I enjoyed two runs along the line. Suspended January 2022

This video captures a train journey along a Welsh railway line, featuring views of Newport's twin tunnels and Park Junction where the track connects to the Cardiff to Ebbw Vale route. The footage was recorded during a misty day with limited passenger numbers, likely due to low publicity. The service was reintroduced in the winter timetable but later suspended in January 2022. Locations shown include Newport, Crosskeys, and Ebbw Vale Town, with mentions of challenges in recording from bridges due to safety-related modifications.
