On a very cold morning with frost on the ground, I went to Pantyffynnon and Llandeilo on the Central Wales line to capture the Network Rail Class 150 No 950001 working the Central Wales Line. My first location was Pantyffynnon, however, the 150 unit was running very late, so I decided to go up the line to Llandeilo. Before I left Pantyffynnon,I captured some of the infrastructure at this old Jnc Station, which may be of interest to you modelers out there. 
On arrival at Llandeilo, I captured some items of interest around the station, including a nearby suspension foot bridge.
I was fortunate to capture one of only four services that run South on the line this time of the year. We see 150 260 on the 09.00 service from Shrewsbury to Cardiff via the Central Wales Line and Llanelli.
We then see the network Rail's much travelled 950001 arriving to exchange token, some 95 minutes late, having been held for two and a half hours at Craven Arms. You will hear that the trailing car's engines are not working, and may be why it was running late.
