The Cambrian, 2009-Aug-25, part 4 - return, Dovey Estuary (r)

Description:
The Cambrian on 2009-Aug-25.
*
The Cambrian - the Cambrian coast express - a spectacular railway journey along the Dovey estuary, Mawddach estuary and the West coast of Wales, aboard preserved passenger stock (with a delightful absence of air-conditioning or sealed windows) hauled by preserved steam locomotive. This section of railway line (Dovey Junction to Pwllheli) has been considered for closure several times. May the steam train, and its popularity, help to prevent such talk.
*
A four-hour return journey, condensed, here,
into 40 minutes in 4 parts:
part 1 - outward, Welsh Coast
part 2 - return, Steam Traction
part 3 - return, Cardigan Bay (Bae Ceredigion)
part 4 - return, Dovey Estuary (Afon Dyfi)

This is not professional DVD quality, just a few video clips, no frills. Sorry about the wind noise - obviously, the wrong type of microphone was used.
Commentary: chuffed by 76079.
A slow broadband connection may cause the video play to stall regularly. To cure this, pause (||) the video and allow it to "pre-load" (pale grey band) for a few minutes.

Part 4 (re-edit):
On the final part of the return journey, The Cambrian climbs the hills aback of Aberdovey (Aberdyfi) at the mouth of the Dovey Estuary (Afon Dyfi) before hugging the Northern bank of the estuary, meandering Eastwards to Dovey Bridge and Dovey Junction station, where The Cambrian stops to wait for a diesel sprinter train travelling from Shrewsbury to Aberystwyth, heading for the Southern bank of the estuary. The Cambrian then journeys onwards, terminating at Machynlleth where the engine runs round in order to shunt the train into the sidings for the night (video stills have been added).
