Description
Was it really this busy only a decade ago? For those of you new to my channel I've re edited clips including 70012, the missing class 70, which was dropped on board the boat whilst being unloaded at Newport docks on January 5th 2011 Also blue 60s on the Murco tanks, cement train to Aberthaw, which has seen the last cement train in December 2020. Views on the line to Cardiff Bay. This is now blocked by more tower blocks. And finally, east of the Severn Tunnel, top and tail to Taunton
