A very special day, I went out to record the first Steam hauled charter to run the full length of the Central Wales route for over eighteen months. Today's charter was run by LSL, and was hauled by 45231 assisted by D8107 in Green livery from Crewe to Carmarthen via Llandovery and Llandeilo.
Unfortunately, the train was terminated at Llandeilo with the failure of the Black 5. Immense crowds came out to enjoy this spectacle, with the relaxation of travel within Wales. My final location was to be Ferryside, but the Charter never made it that far, so I captured 60015 heading West along the coast with the 11.19 Westerleigh to Robertson empty MURCO tank train.
