One Wales Express & Welsh Marches Express - Pontypool - 11/08/21
Player
Description
Two types of 'express' trains appeared at Pontypool & New Inn, this morning.
DB Cargo 67017 made an unexpected appearance with taking the One Wales Express stock from, presumably, Cardiff Canton Sidings to Wrexham General. The carriage stock was empty, so this was most likely a stock move.
This was shortly followed by the 'Welsh Marches Express' railtour charter with steam engine LMS 46100 'Royal Scot', heading from Wigan North Western to Cardiff Central, although 'Royal Scot' was taking the train from Crewe to Cardiff midway. LSL 47614 was on the rear of the train.
