Cardiff Central Station Featuring DB, TFW & GWR Classes 66, 67, 150, 153, 197, 800 & 802.
Cardiff Central Station (29 November 2024).
In this video I visit Cardiff Central station on the South Wales Main Line. As usual we will look at the station facilities and services, then take a brief look at its history before carrying on to look at what trains visited the station whilst I was there.
This is my longest video yet with a decent amount of freight (especially compared to Cornwall!) as well as the day to day local, regional and Inter-city passenger services.
I hope you enjoy it.

    Thanks for this video of Calstock.. and the Tamar Valley Line. I lived in Plymouth from 1974 until 1995 and visited Calstock on a number of occasions, by car and by train. I also took the Bus from Calstock to Tavi, with Student friends from Plymouth Polytechnic, as it was back then. Additionally, I danced at Calstock on a number of occasions with Plymouth Morris Men and Plymouth Maids Cloggies, so lots of happy and pleasant memories of my years in the West Country. I enjoyed the first episode and am looking forward to the next two episodes. Keep up the good work. Russ. Hampshire.

    Thank you for a very informative and enjoyable video. I filmed at Saltash during my holiday at St Germans back in June. Having lived in Plymouth and SE Cornwall for over 30 years I am very familiar with Saltash and both the road and rail crossings. The station is looking much improved since i was last in the area back in the late 1990’s.

    At least you can get a train to Liskeard . Pocklington area we're I am you have to rely on buses and there are more times when the a1079 is gridlocked with vehicles. There used to be a perfectly good rail line between York & hull until that psycho Beeching fkd it all up.

      @tadpole1969uk 9 месяцев назад

      Yup. I live about 8 miles away and we lost our service thanks to Beeching. Nobody predicted that cars would become so prevalent. Bus companies will only run a decently frequent service if it makes them a decent profit.
