Newport Area Traffic 1988/89 - Part Two

The second part of a film covering activity on lines around Newport, featuring the last weeks of regular scheduled loco-hauled passenger trains and Heritage DMU sets in South Wales. Locations: Park Junction, Park Junction Signal Box, Gaer Tunnel, Ebbw Junction, Cwmbran and Severn Tunnel Junction. The featured Tredegar Park Mile post was broken into five pieces during track remodelling in 2007, but was recovered in 2011 and is presently in the care of the National Trust, in unrestored condition, at Tredegar House, Newport. The two remaining posts on the 'Golden Mile' are in situ and Grade II listed by CADW, as is Park Junction signal box. Filmed and edited by Ray Viney.
