Description
Today on the Welsh Marches mainline, BR-Standard Class steam engine 70000 'Britannia' is seen passing through the rapidly upgrading Pontypool & New Inn heading from Crewe H.S to Swanage, in order to participate in its special guest appearance at the Swanage Railway steam gala event.
Later in the afternoon, West Coast 47813 & 47815 trundle through Cwmbran joined together on a light engine move from Carnforth Steamtown to Landore T.M.D, to provide assistance for electric-testing Mark 4 stock due to a lack of Class 67s, so we've been told.
There are also some TFW units in between the two main workings.
