Last Friday, this loco became the first of its class to visit West Wales. Today I returned to Carmarthen to capture the return Pathfinderf Tours service conveying Rugby fans from the Six Nations match between Wales and Scotland.This loco worked from Carlisle to Carmarthen, and returned with the empty stock to Crewe, almost at the limit of fuel consumption for such a long run.
I chose Carmarthen, as it was the only station not too far from home, where the station lighting was adequate for capturing the scenes. Despite this it was still difficult at some areas of the station, in particular when it departed for Crewe, where the loco was in complete darkness, and the lights in most of the coaches, had been turned off. The train arrived some 18 minutes early and departed 35 minutes early
It was great to  meet up with Justin, Dean and Alan at Carmarthen.
All footage was hand held.
