Ex GWR Castle 5029 Nunney Castle worked The Railway Touring Company excursion from Birmingham International to Fishguard Harbour via Carmarthen from Cardiff Pengam to Carmarthen via the Swansea District Line. West Coat Railway's 47245 worked the Carmarthen to Fishguard Leg, as there is no longer a run round facility at Fishguard Harbour. The first clip, shows the Castle working up the gradient towards Llanharan, we then sea the train along the sea wall at Pwll as it recovers from a signal check, and finally some scenes at Carmarthen, as the 47 takes the train Westwards towards Fishguard, where the Castle will work back as far as Pengam in Cardiff via Loughor and the notorious Cockett Bank. Unfortunately I was unable to cover this leg of the journey due to family commitments. The Driver was Ray Poole not Ray Goole as shown in the title scene......My apologies.
