Description
From one of my favourite locations in Cardiff, on a very windy day, we see 60009 arrive with her train, depart for Canton Shed. Return towards Newport for the triangle where she will turn and return later for the stock. Turning at nearby Cadaxton appears to have stopped due to the much busier line. 10.05.13
