Today a special excursion was run from Birmingham New Street along the Central Wales/Heart of Wales Line to celebrate it's 150th Anniversary. The run was scheduled to be diesel hauled by a 37 from Birmingham to Shrewsbury and hauled on the Central Wales Line by Black 5 45231, unfortunately the Black 5 was withdrawn at the last minute, leaving the Class 37 working throughout.
It meant that it was possible to see more passengers at the small station of Bynea that it has seen for years.
There was an official ceremony at Llandovery Station, which will be uploaded seperately. 
All footage was hand held.
