Thanks for the info! :-) Any idea when it's likely to start? It'd be fantastic if you could let me know, thanks loads! Cheers :-)

New timetable in May.

Thanks! :-)

That horn made you jump LOL! There will be 2 each way per day soon as a early am departure from Cardiff-Holyhead is planned and will pass the Holyhead-Cardiff arround Abergeveny.

That will be formed of 5 or 6 stock with a mk3 buffet. Great vid, keep it up.

Wow, that's interesting!! Wonder what time the crossover will be? Hope it's at Abergavenny! Thanks for the info! :-)

Great sound. I like the bit where you jumped when he blew the horn.

[HSTmiranda]

Thanks! I should have said 57316 on the back as the loco was unbranded!
