Cambrian 158s - Including refurbished 158840 reveal

A few of my videos of class 158s on the Cambrian main line between Aberystwyth and Shrewsbury. The video starts with some old footage from Newtown station, apologies for the jump in the shot of the Arriva liveried units, my camera had dirty tape heads of something and I had to cut that but out. I preferred the ex-Alphaline (blue and silver) units heading in the other direction.

The video concludes much more recently, with shots of Arriva's refurbished 158840 at Aberystywth. This was the first public service the unit ran since being refurbished, hence the horn on arrival and the dignitaries and press who were waiting for it at Aberystwyth station

I didn't get any interior shots of the refurbished 158840, as I didn't get on it. Somebody else did though, and posted their pictures on flickr.com/photos/arrivatrains­wales158/sets/7215762637956536­3/with/5621873707/

Hope that helps
