The Central Wales Explorer 03-07-2010

This is a video taken on the 03-07-2010 of the central Wales explorer. we see two black 5s (44871 and 45407) dubble heading this tour throw the lovely central of wales line. we first see them on the central of wales line at Knucklas, where they worked hard climing up the step banks of the line. The next shot is taken on the South Wales mainline at Bridgend station. as they was running 20 mins late they was going at some speed to catch up time. Thanks to JBTEvans and my girlfriend for company

@itfcsam I thought it mgiht be. so the avoid line. so yer you better off at the two places i said or even Baglan but they might be costing there as they be slowing down for thwe avoid line as the turnnig off for it is britton ferry that only arround the corner. good luck getting a shot nad look forward to seeing it

@GJDobbzy I've heard that its missing out Neath and going up and joining onto the Heart of Wales line at somewhere beinginning with pont... I think. Sound familiar? I dont know wales well so yeh lol

[GJDobbzy]

@itfcsam I wouldn't go to bridgend as from it coming form cardiff as it a curve and you can't really see it coming. I would say Pyle, port Talbot or ferther allong. but it all depends if it go avoid swansea or Llandor loop. we have to wait and see.

[itfcsam]

@GJDobbzy If I go, it will be by train and be somewhere like Bridgend or Port Talbot or one of the smaller stations possibly.
