Nice video Josh, shame the movement was only 1/2 the length it should have been, wonder if the other 50s will ever leave Canton, there must be something wrong with them if they failed to leave twice. Liked
Because the trees have grown so much in the car park what I do is walk along the road to the speed camera, cross the road jump over the wall walk back until you come to the bridge and you have an uninterrupted shot of the mainline and the yard all the way to Maesglas.
@siobhan104 haha nice. I live not too far away from Somerton Bridge so hear the trains all day but I have to walk about 10mins until I can see any track haha
It's been a long time since I saw a 50 cross the Usk at Newport...Good work Josh...Bob

Ive just read on railforums that both locos (50049 and 50044) have been pulled from the rail tour.... they are being replaced with class 57s TnT

@dugdug03 thats weird, I would think they would use 44 though seeing as she is ready in London. Are the 57s being used for the ECS?
