End of day at Rhymney with the arrival of Pete Watermans black 47710 " Quasimodo" Watch the runround into place for the next mornings service, plus arrival of 2 DMUs and into sidings for the night
I think the Waterman L&NWR colours on both locos and stock at this time, was one of the smartest used.....Great to see footage from back then Mike....Regards...Bob
Another nice video Mike! I never recorded any of the Rhymney runs, I guess I was too busy with riding them and other things. I am making up for it now though as they've returned and I now have plenty of photos and video.
Do Arriva keep trains parked up over night at the Sidings in Rhymney or do they head back to Cardiff? The last train to Ebbw Vale Town always heads back after completing the run.
there are sidings at Rhymney where the trains stay overnight .. The Rhymney 37s also used to park up there. Rhymney to Cardiff run services every half hour then until the sidings are empty.
The South Wales Valleys are one of the busiest commuter areas in the UK, all radiating from Cardiff " like the fingers on a hand " Look on Google Earth for an overview.....Mike
