Later in the day, the Paignton train returns with only one 67 in charge, perhaps the other one developed a fault?

Another blast from the days of loco hauled passenger trains, this time the early 2000s. Following VXC's withdrawal of the 47/8s, it soon became clear that Voyagers weren't sufficient for summer Saturdays. Here two 67s work a Paignton bound service.

jumping forward a few years, we find an EWS class 37 on a rake of Mk2F coaches, echoes of the Rhymney Valley lines when the the Millenium Stadium hosted big sports events.

A late eighties meet, with 47537 heading north with a passenger and 37430 'Cwmbran' heading south with a Speedlink freight. Looking at the freight, it appears to be bound for St Blazey. The ferry vans are Sonic Models from @railssheffield

our Friday night running session took on an eighties/nineties theme. 47537 'Sir Gwynedd/County of Gwynedd' heads a passenger train of Mk2D stock, this now has Kadees fitted to the ends of the rake.

A few weeks ago, we had some nuclear trains of the KUA type. This week it was the FNA type found running from places such as Bridgwater and Heysham.

Finally, for a bit of fun, a time warp meet. The modern era China Clays with DB 66, passes 37305 on the 80s/90s Speedlink freight. we'll leave you to decide which you prefer!
