Organised by Simon Pilkington as a tribute to his late Father who was a Police Sergeant with South Wales Police and passed away in 2015. The 565 being his badge number. Two DRS 37's brought the train from Carnforth, where Colas Rail Liveries 37254 and 37175 brought then to Carmarthen . First clip is the pair storming up Llanfihangel Bank en route to South West Wales. We then travel to Carmarthen where the two locos were split to Top N Tail on the return journey via The Heart of Wales Line, and with Driver Beacchi of Cardiff at the helm, we see it tackling the steep climb up to Sugar Loaf Summit on the Heart of Wales Route. Then comes a clip of a Class 153 single Car unit on a Shrewsbury to Swansea Sevice, and finally a clip of the first ever run of a Class 68 on the HOW Line as 68016 and 68024 work a Paddington to Llandrindod Wells Northern Belle excursion...A great day out.
