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..
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.
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!
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 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...

I travel this line often, but here I am watching it 😂 great video.

Curious that this westbound journey started on platform 2 at Cardiff Central
Great video, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks, looking forward to more South Wales
Glad you enjoyed it
Another nice vid thank you.

Wish that Network Rail could of electrified to Swansea but the electrification only ends at Cardiff Central.
Thank you for a really good ride…….Swansea to Milford Haven sometime ??
I do have the footage.
Thanks!
You bet!
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....
Good call!

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

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.
I signal this line 😁
Is it a hst service to Swansea please
No it was a DMU

In Central Trains days you wo
Why did that stop? In Central Trains days you would have had the Brickyard Sidings where we reversed. All pulled up now.
Cab sounds would be great. Promise we will forgive the embarrassing singing of show tunes...
Nice to see nobody wearing masks!!!!!
