Thanks! Yeah no problem, nice the only HST livery I remember was the FGW Blue lol. Yeah bloody hell more thrash there than you get nowadays lol. Yeah they did, when I did find out Virgin went to Swansea I didn't believe it at first until I watched that vkdwo

@@MrMaguireLovesTrains yeah haha

@@MrMaguireLovesTrains the heart of wales tour is on RTT

@SionsTrainVideos nice ill check later I'm going to ride the WAG set

@@MrMaguireLovesTrains ah right i fancy seeing them in pyle coz they will be working hard up there

Yeah thanks, well I still can't believe that I saw 5 Freightliner locos and more Freightliner 66s than DB 66s, 158750 was amazing glad the driver let me in the cab I did ask to do the horn but he said no sorry, lol, yeah when it said a Colas loco was coming I was actually expecting a shed but when I saw that 70 omg it had already made my day, yeah I did remember u saying Voyager don't go through Swindon, I reckon they should though, well OK but I just prefer Swindon to Didcot because it's a nice place to go, the staff on the station are very friendly, it has a nice town centre and the reason I went was to go to the Steam museum which was great and I also had a go at doing the signalling and to drive a steam train, not a real one though lol, I was supprised Stagecoach buses still had Dennis Darts though I wish First did, I stopped videoing just to save battery as it would of been on 20 odd %, I'm glad I also saw 387

@MrMaguireLovesTrains yeah alot of freight u saw and kind driver of 158750 shame he said no. Lol colas dosnet have many 66s now. Idc about the town lol unless i was having food i have seen on Google maps it is like trostre tho in didcot which also has a steam railway so didcot is also nice just shame they don't go direct from Swansea anymore. That's interesting stagecoach has darts there. I did 2 videos yesterday in the station at station i saw a 158 twice and 150

@SionsTrainVideos yeah, but I was so glad I went in my first 158 cab and actually not TFW, I was taking photos of the train and I said hi to him and he was very kind, I asked him if I can take some photos on board the train he said yes and then asked if I wanted a photo in the cab and 158750 was my first 158 cab but my 3rd GWR cab

@@MrMaguireLovesTrains thats good

I 100% recommend it, it is very amazing

Thanks!

It is really disappointing to see these trains go, they've been working on our railway for about 40 years, it is upsetting to see a train being scrapped, farewell 150281 and other TFW Sprinters when they go

@@MrMaguireLovesTrains yeah I miss seeing class 150 passing through my local station atm all I see is 197 1533 and 197 as well

@elliotgane8088 well I just see 800s, 802s, 197s, 150s, 153s, 67+DVT on Sundays and sometimes 158s

I wish Grand Union could take them on lol, GWR would do great if they work the 175s up to Swansea working with the IETs

@MrMaguireLovesTrains apparently 175s are going to do Cardiff to penzance

Hopefully a new operator will take them on

@@MrMaguireLovesTrains well GWR are supposedly buying them but I am not 100% certain

Thanks!!!

Yeah thanks

Thanks, today

​@MrMaguireLovesTrains ah nice so u can watch youtube again

@@SionsTrainVideos I can watch KZfaq anyway I'm home now and I'm playing Train Sim World 4

@MrMaguireLovesTrains ah right maybe later then is it

@SionsTrainVideos idk, I'll watch your videos when I feel like it, I'll watch one later and if I feel like watching another one later I will or tomorrow

Don't worry about it Rowan! Thanks for watching. Yeah it was amazing, I had already known I was going to have a fantastic day with many rare and stuff u don't get west of Cardiff. I got there on a 197 which I passed Canton Depot and saw the Class 756s stabled there with a few other trains there, I also saw 82230 DVT pushed by 67015 as I've never seen a DB liveried 67 even though I have really wanted to, since going to Cardiff I've seen 2 DB liveried Skips 67015 and 67010, there was another spotter behind me who waved and gave us nice tones which I wasn't expecting as in Swansea the drivers don't really do it, but the DVTs have given me tones in Llansamlet and Bridgend and now Cardiff haha, 67s have given me tones in Swansea and Llansamlet. It was nice to finally get footage of a GWR class 158, 158769+158766. Cardiff Central is an amazing place to go spotting, I loved the 231s too, I wish they could get extended to Swansea. It's surprising to see so many 150s and 153s there, there's not many of them working the West Wales Line or the Swanline now, they mostly work Swansea to Shrewsbury and sometimes to Pembrokeshire, I think they work west on Sundays though,I know all you get in Aberystwyth is 158s, thats not bad for you I guess as they don't come down South that often now. I was so happy to finally see a class 387, when I was in Cardiff in November I didn't even see one class 387 unfortunately. It was surprising that CrossCountry weren't operating down Cardiff that day, it would of been nice to see a few 170s again. Its a shame TFW got rid of their 170s, I think they were supposed to work services to Swansea and Carmarthen I think. I saw the sign saying HST 2+4 car stop which made me remember the good days when HSTs worked to Cardiff and Swansea, HSTs were the first train I actually rode, I think I still have a GWR thing that went on the chairs before they were changed into the new GWR seats. I didn't think I would of seen any class 166s or 165s there when I got there because I thought it was all done by 158s on that day but thankfully it was a 166 doing a service. 66554 was a massive surprise, it was the first Freightliner loco I saw back in 9th October 2022 along with 66545. It was another massive surprise to see that there was another Freightliner service passing through 66570 from Barry Docks to Tilbury I think it was. To see 66654 which then meant I saw 66651 which is 2 modified Sheds. I've seen Class 66s from all companies apart from the Direct Rail Services and the European companies.

welcome Callum 😊 I might reply to your _reply_ properly in a few days' time 😜

@RWL2012 haha🤣🤣🤣 sorry if it's too long

@@MrMaguireLovesTrains no worries! 😂 I will though, on my train to Shrooosbreee 😜

@RWL2012 oh cool

Thanks! Well he probably didn't want to make Llanelli jump, lol if I was the DB driver going through Llanelli o would give you loud tones, I know they've done it before from watching ur videos

i saw them too but no tones very fast tho

Thanks Nick!

At least you had a fast pass, I don't mind of he doesn't give tones to me but as long as they wave because then it means they have acknowledged me

@MrMaguireLovesTrains yep very fast they were he might have wived

Thanks 😊

Thanks yeah I know I noticed that lol

Thanks Nick! I do want to see 66077 because I know it's fueled by some sort of fuel I forgot the name of it and I know its your favourite Shed

​@@MrMaguireLovesTrainshaha it is your right, not seencit for ages!

@RedShedNick is 66004 still on the Drax? I really want to see that

Thanks, I had a new phone so I thought I would go and test it and I think the video looks better than my old oke

@@MrMaguireLovesTrains ah right good what phone is it

@@SionsTrainVideos yes I did it’s up on my channel ☺️

@@Thatmodelrailwayboy brilliant videos

Oh Yeah Sion did say you live up there, I forgot lol, me neither I last went on it like 7 or more years ago

​​​​@@MrMaguireLovesTrainsah yeah lol. ah you went on it when you were younger too 😊 If you're still going to be in the area, paths are in for more ETCS-fitted 197 Cambrian test runs to Dovey Junction Down Loop and back (3Q53 and 3Q54) tomorrow/Wednesday the 7/8/24, Thursday the 8/8/24 and Friday the 9/9/24. They sometimes get cancelled though, so check that 3Q53 has set off from Crewe (at 1017 IIRC) on the day, before catching a half-hour train or T2/T28 bus ride to Machynlleth.

@RWL2012 one question why is it measured in Kilometres per hour instead of miles and why does the signal things look French

@@MrMaguireLovesTrains ERTMS (European Rail Traffic Management System), and, within that, ETCS (European Train Control System), is designed to be one standard for use across Europe, so it has to do things the same way in the UK as on the mainland.

@RWL2012 how come it's there and not South Wales?

Yes you do

@@Verylonelyloconow ye but my parents probably won’t let us

I 100% recommend it

@@MrMaguireLovesTrains I have been before but haven’t been since last year but my uncle and auntie went to see Rali Ceredigion and cuz we were going with them we decided to stop at the railway and see NO:7 depart it was a splendid departure. But I’d love to go this year for a train ride

@Thatmodelrailwayboy yeah honestly I would do it every week if I could it may be a bit bumpy some places, we climb many gradients and get amazing views, the First Class coach we went in was like something the Royal family would use and it runs right next to the Cambrian line so you will get class 158s

I've been on it twice now first time like 7 or more years ago and today both of which only on the GWR Rheidol tank

Nice

Yeah thanks Nick! Yeah they were, 66570 was unexpected but I already knew there was a Freightliner light loco coming but little did I know it was 66554 my first ever FL loco which I first saw October 2022, yeah the DVTs really made me jump lol, a new Skip for me lol, I did see 67010 but didn't manage to take a photo or video, I asked the 158 and 231 driver if they could give tones and my mate asked the 166 driver because sometimes they don't do it and I have never had tones off a 231 or 166 or GWR 158. Thanks for watching Nick! Cheers Callum

Thanks, yeah Sprinters everywhere you look in Cardiff lol, yeah we were told 66554 which was my first FL loco which I last saw December 2022 was on platform 3 and there was a DB coming it was 66177 and then my friend said traksy was showing it was pathed on platform 0 so we ran back to platform 2 and there it was with a lazer thing on the back which departed early, 177 was good too the funny things you see on freight wagons these days🤣🤣🤣 I'm glad I finally saw a class 387, and finally videos of GWR 158s which was also good, and 166207, I'm glad I saw a double header shed 66117+66654, I asked the 158 driver and the 231 driver if they could sound the horn to us my friend asked the 166 driver, the DVT made me jump lol, 66570 was a big surprise, I thought I would be bowled by a 800 or 197 but forgot it had to stop lol

@MrMaguireLovesTrains yeah lol they are everywhere there. 66554 looks like she was testing something. Naughty 66177 lol. 387s was cool shame no tones or whistle tones. GWR 158s and turbos was great lol shame the 158s driver didn't do the loud tone only the low one. Funny 802013 went to penzance on platform 4 but apparently it was late arriving. Lol u was lucky with 66570

@SionsTrainVideos yeah 66570 was surprisingly from Barry Docks, I only thought the container trains went from Wentloog not Barry lol

@MrMaguireLovesTrains yeah there is 1 a day to barry it goes from Southampton to wentloog then barry and over to Tilbury london

@SionsTrainVideos oh right that's the first time I actually noticed container trains went through apart from watching someone's video I think it was TheLonelyLoco

Yes it's for the gradients for Devon and Cornwall
