On the front is the superbly liveried 43172 Harry Patch, still soldiering on and part of a scratch set. Rumours are going around that the 'scratch' sets were to finish with the commencement of the new timetable . The train is the 10.50 Penzance - Cardiff Central seen here at Langham Levels west of Ivybridge station. Rear-guard action is provided by FGW blue liveried 43191. The predicted sunshine failed to materialise but one can't ask for too much. Lovely to see and even better for those onboard opening and shutting the doors and risking the wrath of GWR staff should they dare to open a window let alone stick their head out
Regards, Clive Smith. Many thanks to you Clive.

At this time the Port Talbot to Llanwern iron ore circuit was worked by pairs of Class 56’s.
56041 and 56050 can be seen passing through Newport station heading for Llanwern with a loaded train, and later passing Ebbw Junction heading once again for Port Talbot with the empties.
Note the former Ebbw Junction mpd on the left.
