Description
Join us at Ystrad Mynach, March 9th 2014, as the tour from Paddington starts the climb up to Cwmbargoed. Next we'up at CBG as the tour arrives for a short stop before reversing back down the line to Caerphilly, where the train takes on water for the carriages! Next a quick drive across the Valleys to Aberdare, where the line continues up to Tower Colliery. This section of track along with CBG is now closed. Finally it's down to Taffs Well to catch the tour at speed as it heads back to Paddington. Tape 634
