Aerial Views of Margam Railway Yard & Sidings at Tata Steel in Port Talbot

See a birds-eye perspective of Margam yard in South Wales, built to support the huge steel works which is currently run by Tata Steel on outskirts of Port Talbot.
This site was requested by a subscriber a few weeks back so I'm glad to have been able to provide some footage whilst in the area. If there is any location you'd like to see - Please leave me a comment and I'll do my best to get there soon.
Filming at this site is not easy due to the many overhead electrical pylons providing power to the steel works so some angles aren't possible however the video should provide you a good overview of the site.
Like most rail yards in the 2020's - They are a sad site compared to former glories - Margam is no exception to this. It was once packed full of class 37's and a real buzzing location.
Hope you enjoy the video! Thanks for watching.

It used to be massive in the 60s with the TMD and marshalling yard.
Now, its Port Talbot's only hope, to become a huge yard again for container shipping port, now that the steelworks is going.

Just wished this tech was around in the 70’s/80’s the yards would’ve been so different. Great video in documenting, after seeing Network rails efforts, with all the virtu signaling HSE & buzz words, these videos are a breath of fresh air.

I was hoping you might have done Knuckle yard as I've never seen the far end! It's so much quieter there than even 5 years ago. Shame you weren't filming there last Thursday morning as you'd have got a Colas 56 on empty logs on the main passing 60024 shunting the yard....!! 😊

Would love to see some of the more unique to steelworks internal lines such as crucible cars near the blast furnace, though I don't know what permissions you're working with.
Was interesting as always to see from the air an area you usually only glimpse through trees.

Another great video not sure if you know that the old margam tmd is about half a mile from the knuckle yard

You can't have many more yards to do now!
