Fond memories of this depot. Drove 47677 from the stabling point to fuel and back again. Also got a proper br bib given to me. All because my father was taking pictures of 47803 through the fence!
My youngest memories of wanting to watch railways were here whilst staying with relatives here in the early 70's..... I used to pester my dad to take me to stand by that level crossing and depot I distinctly remember what I think was an old steam loco standing behind the shed wall up against it, perhaps being used as a stationery boiler perhaps? Anyone know what loco it was Great video by the way, thanks
Back in the days when Cross country services to Cardiff didn't consist of turbostars and a single voyager. Cardiff could do with some more through services.
