  • This journey was from 4 years ago prior to electrification at Cardiff. We depart Cardiff and run down the Mainline to Swansea via Bridgend, Port Talbot and Neath, before crossing Landore viaduct and into Swansea station. Please see the channel description as to the reason behind the silent film.
    This video was requested by a Paypal donor for some videos in South Wales, there will be more from South Wales coming up.

    Nice to see a couple of GW HSTs; I would never have thought I could express enthusiasm for an oilcan, but they had so much more character than the latest poor quality offerings.

    Many Thanks. I use to study in Swansea University and use to travel from Cardiff to Swansea at times. Bring back lot of memories. The station looks totally different now. I studied ages ago though..

    Wish that Network Rail could of electrified to Swansea but the electrification only ends at Cardiff Central.

    Great video as ever... small suggestion though... it might be better to put the actual year rather than four years ago because in five year's time....

    Interesting footage! It’s a shame you did not mention the Hitachi depot at Maliphant, towards the end. After all, it’s the only electrified bit, for the time being!

      not electrified, was caped when they decided not to electrify to swansea, after having new signals and masts done for it

    People this site wouldn't let me complete my comment before. So. In Central Trains days you would have seen the Brickyard Sidings on the right where we reversed. All pulled up now.

    Thank you for posting this video; I have been wanting to see the line between Cardiff and Swansea for ages!
    Just to say, at 34:35 this train passes through a railway station and no caption appears - is this railway station Baglan?

    • @RailMart
      @RailMart  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It certainly is and I missed that. I know why I missed it also. It is right on the edge of a page on my railway track diagram.

      @@RailMart I'd guess the ATW service from Manchester?
      Too short for an HST, not stopping often enough to be the Swansea-Cardiff pacer, and the Swansea-Shrewsbury service goes Heart of Wales line...
