Cogan, Pontyclun, Llanharan, Briton Ferry & Two Black 5s at Cardiff Central

A Class 142, and a brace of Class 150s at Cogan. Followed by 158838 (still in Wessex Trains livery) at Pontyclun, before heading to Pontyclun Level Crossing, complete with Class 150s, HST, and 175. Our next stop is just to the east of Llanharan, where DMUs and HSTs pass. Briton Ferry next with HSTs and DMUs before finishing at Cardiff Central where we see two Black 5s arrive and depart with a charter from Nottingham.

@NE317 I suggest you do film the valley lines and around cogan/grangetown! The railway rarely stays the same for long, what is today's boring same old same old becomes tomorrows nostalgia!!

Nice video 5*. Pontyclun station i think is the best train spotting location in south wales!:)

@NE317 not sure about that!! one of the better stations, but there are also some other great locations!! I've got a lot of footage from south wales on here, i'm sure you can find one even better than Pontyclun!!
