Arriva sprinter 158820 passes the derelict Grange and buildings on its journey from Milford Haven to Manchester Piccadilly, 1310 departure 1W85.
I knew this train was running but didn't know where or if I would see it. 50031 "Hood" still wears the number and name 50028 "Tiger" and Scotrail Highland stag after its trip to the Far North line in June this year https://www.jules-merlin27.com/Railways/English-Electrics-in-the/i-9bGGH9f/A. Here it works 1B97 1335 Fishguard to Cardiff Arriva Trains service. I wonder if the punters are aware of the classic traction that is providing the thrash? It would have sounded fantastic climbing Stormy Bank! There are no cranks at the windows on this side of the train. THE shot of the week!
Arriva sprinter 158853 in Central Trains green forges up the 1 in 163 gradient here at Llangewydd with a Carmarthen bound class 1 working, 1V80 1334 from Manchester Piccadilly.
