- Compare the changing GWR & TfW Rolling Stock fleets by seeing the old and the new across this video.
Plenty of GWR Class 43 action whilst it lasts with a look at the new Stadler class 231's joining the TfW fleet also.
Sorry for the wind noise on some clips - It was a very blustery day!
Please leave me any comments and I'll reply back to you as soon as possible. Thanks for watching.

Super nice Video! I like it!
Nice to see that the class 43s are still in use as they still got plenty of life left in these fast flying machines 😀
Agreed - Fingers crossed for a few years more service yet. 🤞
Not sure about plenty of life left. They are 46 years old. Aside from the 313s they are the oldest stock on the network and they have led a hard life. The MTU engines themselves are 18 years old. Don't get me wrong, I love HSTs but they are genuinely old trains now.
@@cjmillsnun sadly some people don’t want to see them go ( HST) these are castle sets I believe for lines still not electrified
Not like the good old days at Newport. Always a Central Trains 170 in Godfrey Road Sidings with failed brakes (From Eastfield to be taken to Tyseley who know what they are doing). And instead a 158+153 or even a 156. Eastfield once sent out a 150. The Midland Mainline people stopped it at Derby ('What a thing to send to Cardiff') and swopped passengers with the incoming 170. Fun & games back then.
Sunday a good day at Newport ebbw vale Cardiff service runs into Newport and then reverses to from Cardiff or ebbw vale usually a ex Anglia 170
Nice video 👏
Thanks 👍
Great. Any chance you can show the Castle set names as they pass?
The hst's look weird running as shortened sets I've never seen a shortened set before!!!
GWR & Scotrail run them like this - I think there are only a small number of XC sets left at full size now other than the Pullman.
The short trains are called castle sets wales To Cornwall
For me the most interesting thing is electrification

Get out of a Hitachi 800 series and straight onto an HST, like I've done a few times, and the superior quality ride and comfort on the HST is very evident, old or not!
OH GIVE OVER 🙄🙄🙄 HST are past it !
