I made my visit to Treherbert week before last, you had a much better day. Good luck on the bus!

Hi, The clearance work behind the current platform is to accommodate an additional track and platform.

I'll be making regular visits, so keep watching!

All change in Wales Mike. Need to get over there some time to get all these classic units before they go.

[@TheMichaelWilcock2016Railways]

Don't leave for too long, withdrawals are ongoing

[@stephendavies6949]

Yep. It's astonishing! South Wales will have the best system and services outside of London

[@stephendavies6949]

Plenty of positive stuff ongoing in South Wales.
So if you want to go to Penzance you get a HST short set. It you're off to Manchester you get a 2 car DMU!

@@TheMichaelWilcock2016Railways Well, there should be plenty of surplus HST sets at the moment.
TFW do most things well, but I'm sure they wouldn't swap the DMU for a HST shirt set due to emissions concerns. Which is a shame

I might have mentioned before that I retired over 20 years ago, so I have the time to take the bus ride, I'll report back soon
