Description
Only time I've seen a class 56 on the Rhymney Valles Lines morning commute. Next a class 37, with headboard, with cars and vans passing through Abergavenny. The SERCO Test Train is featured on the Vale of Glamorgan Line at Barry and especially on Porthkerry Viaduct; this location now quite overgrown. Finally another rare clip of a Western at Ferryside and on the Lougher Viaduct plus a few more rare clips to enjoy in 2025.
