Description
We start our visit to Margam with a cab ride around the depot. All a happy memory now that the buildings razed to the ground. One of the final events I attended was the naming of 08630 in March 2008. I've included the speeches and images of those attending as a record demonstrating the friendly atmosphere amongst the staff, so many now retired.
