Description
Top/tail freight and passenger services. Starting at the now-closed Pilning on the east side of the Severn Tunnel with top/tail 57s and a couple of HSTs. Also STJ without the large station footbridge and road bridge I could see over!
Recently opened Llanharan near Bridgend and the St Georges west of St Fagans. Back to Cardiff and a clear view of the line to the Bay before the high rise offices/flats are built and an Advenza 57 in the bay. Finally, we're at Pilning to catch the blue 60 on the Murcos again. Tape 429 April 2010
