A monumental piece of British history. Seeing four of them lined up and sounding their horns as they left for the last time brought a lump to my throat.

Thanks for your comment. I,m so please we planned our " day out " well in advance, as all the trains were sold out

[@tardismole]

@@TheMichaelWilcock2016Railways I bet they were. If I wasn't housebound, I would have been on that train myself.

[@paradiselostj5]

didn't even know about this until yesterday, though I didn't look on their site. I'm gutted

[@markcolston7043]

the train that never dies thankfully

[@fordlandau]

These trains were certainly a solid long lived design.

[@andrewbutler6477]

[@user-fy1ou8ni9w]

when are we full electrified ?..

[@TheMichaelWilcock2016Railways]

The line from Cardiff to Swansea won't be electrified. IETs are bi-modal, so at the turn of a switch will run on diesel power. The excessive cost of lifting bridges, sharp curves and lines to Penzance are not being done.
