Having captured the Route Learning Test runs last week, I've been back today to capture a Freightliner Train of 22 HXA's which worked in on the 06.18 service from Stoke Gifford. The train is seen coming on to the Branch at Pantyffynnon some 45 mins early, then hauling up the 1:30 at Red Lion, finally arriving at Tai'rgwaith for the loading Bay. After loading up the four leading wagons, the train was pulled forward to the Head shunt to allow the loco to run round its train, a movement I've not seen before as this service was usually with MEA's which are much smaller wagons. When all 22 wagons are loaded, then a train of well over 2,000 tonnes will make its way to the CEGB at Aberthaw Power Station in the Vale of Glamorgan.
