Trains at Cardiff Central 28/04/2021

40 minutes of mostly Valley Lines action at Cardiff Central on Wednesday 28 April 2021.
There are now only a handful of Pacers in service and these are expected to be withdrawn from service in May.

It was weird enough seeing the 319's, long stalwarts on Thameslink in the Home Counties, move to Liverpool and Manchester, seeing one or two operate as diesels as 769 hybrids is even more surreal!! Who'd have thought they'd eventually make their way to Cardiff when new, back in 1988?

Love the 150 with the new livery

I cant believe those 143's are still in service they're blooming awful units....come on TFW get rid and get new.....but a great video thanks...mind the horns lol.Did you purposely not film any 800 sets or weren't there any? if not why was this please?

[@fgwHST43009]

I didn't film any IET sets because I was focusing on the trains on the Valley Lines.

[@ulysses2162]

I thought they had phased the Pacers out.

[@fgwHST43009]

The Pacers were withdrawn at the end of May.

Since when we’re GWR still operating their HST’s

[@fgwHST43009]

They work regional services between Cardiff and Penzance and have done since 2019.

The remaining ones are in short formations, known as the "Castle Class." You won't see any working through to London any more...all have had their slam-doors replaced by electric ones now. ScotRail have also acquired a few from GWR, and these have been given similar treatment, replacing 170 Turbostars on Glasgow/Edinburgh to Aberdeen/Inverness services.

5/10, 143s GARBAGE, the 153s are for any service, so in my view it should be 2 153s connected to the 150 make a pair with the 150s, instead of the crap that's those Pacers. I'm Actually really really impressed with the 150s in the new livery, and obviously the 769s, it captured a new phase in Cardiff's Rail Transport, along with the cool Freight Train mixed into it. Sorry if this offends people but the 143s are absolute rubbish.
