So nice to see a 37 in British Rail livery hauling blue and grey coaches. The GWR green livery on their new trains looks good as well, but seeing a Deutsch Bahn red 67 loco hauling a premier train for TfW is offensive to my eye (particularly with its reference to being Britain's choice for freight!). Apart from that little gripe, the video was excellent. I miss the activity of Cardiff, with the variety of passenger and freight workings. Only get EMUs and the occasional sand train here. I was wondering why one of the Rhymney trains was top and tailed while another wasn't. Any info on that?
Very Good Colin lot's and lot's of Action and Good timing on those Class 37's tho the posts are going up so fast at least there was 2 x 142's top & tail 37's and the DB 67 at a busy Cardiff Canton. I had notice why DB Class 67010 with (DVT) Driving Van Trailer went into platform 1 as the 2+4 Castle HST went to used platform 2. There were plenty of freight and I had to have a laughter at went the Lady made an announcement of a GWR for Swansea and for a moment I fought it was that HST that arrive into platform 3 but it was not as it was for the announcement for the Hitachi Class 800 which arrive into platform 4. I did see the Transport for Wales white livery 153 into platform 0 & the 158 for Maesteg also I did see there were lots of spotters there to of which 2 were from Pencoed and yes our Good friend Steve as well.

@@Colin21454 Cheers Colin,I think its great to see trains with decent carriages and enough spaces on them instead of sardines in a tin.I noticed more of the new TFW livery in you recent video too,not rushing with them are they?
@Kian O'Leary Yeah noticed one set had 2x37's the other set only 1x37, there is a spare at Canton sheds, in case any breaks down, 2021 should see new trains not sure what class they will be, i have heard several saying, class 91's will be coming here

Cheers JJ a good day spotting all told, weather nice also
I know the bloke standing with you. He wasn't there last Wednesday either. Nice bloke.
Well done to record 2 services passing
Thanks Mike
Some of the Pacer units are so badly perfoming that I suspect these were brought in to replace them.
Seems like they will run till new trains come in around 2021
So who operates this service then?tfl'?
Far as i know TFW
