Description
We join the 8.05 service at Llantwit Major for our 1st stop at Cardiff to catch the Murco Tanks ( which catch me out passing on platform 3 ) Next it's non stop to Bristol Temple Meads for a north bound double headed freight. All looks good since the trackwork closed the station last month. Next up to Parkway to record the passing of the Nuclear Flasks double headed, very smelly waste train and then onto Newport for more fast freight. Last stop is back in Cardiff for the logs from Baglan Bay, on a 56, Murco passing behind and the Holyhead on a 67. Over 20 movements, which for me is a good day in 2021
