First Great Western's ex-Silverlink 150127

67016 heads a Cardiff-Taunton, the top-and-tailed loco-hauled formation substituing for a lack of DMUs

Close up of 67016

Lovely to see Mk2 coaches in 1970s Intercity colours.

67001 at the rear of the train. The use of two locomotives saves running round at each end.

3-Car 158959 on a Portsmouth-Cardiff

43149 heads a London-Swansea express, with "Hippo" 175002 alongside on a Manchester-Camarthen

Arriva Wales' "Nodding Donkey" 142073

A double-length "Hippo", with 170115 in the lead

First freight of the day - 66119 on an eastbound steel train

No fewer than three trains, all moving, in this picture.

Cross-Country's 170107 on a Nottingham-Cardiff. In contrast to the pig-ugly 170s, these are the most stylish of the modern units.

"Gronk" 08885 runs light engine through the station.

43142 heads a down express. These venerable trains are still in front-line service after 30 years.

66237 heads a westbound coal train

66207 heads west on a rake of steel empties

66107 on an eastbound steel

57314 heads the Cardiff to Holyhead

This train is subsidised by the expense accounts of members of the Welsh assembly

Mk2 stock doesn't look bad in Arriva colours

And it's old-fashioned enough to have a brake end at the back

66204 on another steel train

FGW's 153329 strengthens a 2-car 158

66107 on another steel train

Contrast between older BR steel flat, and an EWS-built intermodal flat owing a lot of American practice.

66030 heads a Fords components train

67001 returns with the loco-hauled from Taunton

67001 departs

67016 brings up the rear as the loco-hauled makes for Cardiff

66083 on a rake of HAAs

Not sure of these elderly 2-axle coal wagons were in traffic, or destined for storage.
