Description
At Pontypool & New Inn, the 'English Riveria Express' railtour charter is seen passing through, with LSL Class 37s, 37521 & 37688, double heading the charter from Shrewsbury to Taunton, where 60007 'Sir Nigel Gresley' would then take over for the run to Kingswear. 47828 was on the rear of the train for the reversal shunt once at Kingswear.
The Class 37s were drafted in at the last minute owing to 47593 failing it's exam, so seeing two 37s on a charter on the Welsh Marches was a welcome change of pace.
Afterwards, doubled-units 158828 & 158830 make a stop at Pontypool & New Inn on a passenger service from Crewe to Carmarthen.
