Royal Train with the Queen arrives in Cardiff. Platform view. June 7th 2016

With special permission from platform security, we were allowed to record the arrival, at 7.20sec, of the Royal Train (67005/006 ) and the Royal Party being greeted on the platform.....plus some freight!
In part one of an excellent but very hot day we see various class 66s, of special note is 66162 going on the line north via Queen Street and 70806 with 2 log wagons passing through towards Newport. Due to being limited with our position on the Royal Platform I was just able to record the ecs move to Canton..part 2 soon...

[@madampolo]

I find it amazing that the Queen just takes off walking into a number of people without fear.

[@TheMichaelWilcock2016Railways]

They all been vetted

[@mscott3918]

The Queen is never afraid being with her people. It's a bit like a situation when a visitor to Copenhagen saw Queen Margrethe out shopping for flowers. He asked a Dane who was guarding her, to be told, 'All of us.'

[@TheMichaelWilcock2016Railways]

It's quite clear that the loco is a class 67, number 67005 ! Built in Valencia, Spain. One of 29 working throughout the UK since 1999. There's only one class 28 remaining from the 1950s; not in working order...Thanks for watching...Mike in Wales

Mike Wilcock I have just watched it, and I love the scenery. What were the trains with long black cars? There's several different kinds of trains going by and in between squeals of excitement at the scenery, I was trying to figure out what is what (the different trains.)

[@TheMichaelWilcock2016Railways]

The trains with the " long black cars " are transporting steel; which is covered to protect it from the rain. The squeals are caused by the wheels of passenger trains with fixed bogies ( wheels ) that rub against the steel rails The train at 14.00 is going up the Valleys to collect coal from Cwmbargoed for the power station at Aberthaw, See my video last month at Aberthaw.

[@TheMichaelWilcock2016Railways]

The " long black cars " are covered steel travelling long distance The one at 2.50 is going up the line on the right is going to collect coal from Cwmbargoed. There are clips last month at Cwmbargoed. Squeels are caused by steel wheels rubbing on steel track on the tight curves

[@chazbaz4519]

The Queens double-width door looks pretty unique.

[@TheMichaelWilcock2016Railways]

Correct, only on this stock

[@breeze1472]

When will the queen upgrade to new 800 class?

[@geoffreybradford]

Pardon if lots of people already asked this, but why is the loco on the tail end not running? And if anybody says "because nothing is chasing it!", they can sit right next to me but seriously....why?

[@TheMichaelWilcock2016Railways]

When the train arrives at Cardiff; its destination, the loco would have to detach from the carriages and run round to return the train to London. This will take time; so by having an extra loco on the rear the driver takes it back within 5 mins of arrival. Hope this makes sense to you?

[@geoffreybradford]

Mike Wilcock It does . I think I saw the front / rear locos as the same set up commuter trains often use with both engines running and slaved to each other so was not expecting the rear loco to be silent but makes sense now.

[@MrMarukas86]

10 wagons total. 2 engines and 8 with seats kitchen etc. Big train for one person to travel

[@TheMichaelWilcock2016Railways]

Like a President etc, the Queen has her entourage to travel with her, including security, planners for the day's events as well as her own accommodation on the train, as she often sleeps on the train when making early appointments throughout the country. Are these individuals are gainfully employed and we all enjoy her presence. Hope this helps understand the situation.

[@bobbypaluga4346]

I'm not sure if retro is a good way to describe this beautiful train, but there is something great about the dark paint, the clean and lovingly waxed surface, and those rounded lines and deeper set windows. I recall seeing a matching steam engine in some videos, it could have been at the time of Lady Diana's death or the Queen returning from her Scottish castle.. I'm sure if my ancestors had not moved to the US in the 1880's I would be one of the cheering onlookers, with a tear in my eye and a lump in my throat when the Queen shook my hand or walked past me. It's what you have or haven't experienced that sets up normal. When I saw the plague that recorded the visit of the Queen, it occurred to me that the entire country is covered with such plagues representing the visits of a King or Queen Prince or Princess. I do however applaud those who might have removed those remembrances to that traitorous weasel Prince Edward when he made a visit in the brief time he wore a crown.

Great video! Great looking train. Very interesting to see how the unelected and unemployed travel.

[@TheMichaelWilcock2016Railways]

Thanks; but remember how many individuals are employed to run/service the Royal Train. The same applies to any official movements for governments etc

Well, this video was always going to be a republican magnet, but the fact is you wouldn't last till that age if you did half the work she does.

@@Otacatapetl Cant be a democracy with a House of Lords or a Monarch. UK leaves EU for more control, yet still has none. Also having a Head of State as head of the Armed Forces and head of the CoE only to fight in Muslim country's is a little wrong to say the least. But to each their own. I'm sure she does lots of good and employs lots of people. Gives us all a chance to see this beautiful train too and thats the main thing.
