Another exciting Pathfinder Tours Excursion which ran from Bristol Temple Meads to Tower via the Vale of Glamorgan to Briton Ferry then on through Tondu up to Maesteg and back to Cardiff for the final part of the journey.
My first clip sees the train behind 60039 climbing past St Athan in the Vale of Glamorgan, on the leg from Bristol 
En route we see the train departing from Stormy Down Loop before the train the heads Westwards to to Margam Knuckle Yard where sister engine 60040 was attached. 
The train the headed Westwards to the overgrown Briton Ferry Yard, before traversing the Colas Branch down to Baglan Bay.
The train then worked up to Tondu, where we see it cautiously take the Llynfi Good Loop, which has not seen much use for many years and heads up the Llynfi Valley to Maesteg. With heavy rain forcast for the late afternoon, I decided to head home, having captures some rare movements during the day.
