Description
With the line now "closed" between Margam and Tondu the clips at Parc Slip will never be repeated. It was quite a long walk to find the best location, but with the help of Rowland Pittard, and climbing a few fences, the action recorded was worthwhile. The up to G.C.G. is also closed, and some parts lifted, so no more coal trains. Finally the old shed at Margam and a Railtour
crossing the mainline ends another clip from 2009.
