Wales v Scotland
14th February 2004
Thera are plenty of traditional railway features along this line. 47
805 easily kept to the slack timings and had to wait at plenty of
these ex GWR lower quadrant semaphore signals.
More modern signalling encroached near Newport
Class 60s at the stabling point. The unique InterCity survivor 37 685 was
maddeningly at the end, partly hidden by buildings.
Arrival at Cardiff Central as I pose in front of our coach. I like this Riviera
set, formerly used on the Rhymney run. It comprised 5365 Deborah, 5378 Sarah,
5364 Andrea, 9417 Ellen, 5307 Beverly and bringing up the rear was unnamed
5376.
Class 47s are attracting increasing attention as they fade out of the railway
scene.
