SimOnTrains on the Welsh Marches Line with every train delayed!

The Welsh Marches Line runs Crewe to Newport (South Wales) but focus on the line between Shrewsbury and Hereford stopping off a four railway stations along the way and featuring Trains from a single Class 153 DMU to the Class 67 with MK4 coaches and a Driving trailer van.
The line is impressive as SimonTrains travelled down this line before but haven't visited Ludlow and Leominster. However it doesn't go to plan slightly as every train that I caught.... ran late!

Nice, 150s on the Manchester to Cardiff. Literally an inter city service...

[@bobsrailrelics]

Love the Welsh Marches. At the moment with 175's and the MK4 sets delays are commonplace, though 197's have started being used down there. BTW I have always pronounced it Lemster, doesn't mean I'm right though

[@alanreader4815]

Great video Simon Thanks. 👍

[@arnoldspottingvideos5269]

Nice video Simon. At least your trip has never disappoints 👍

[@MichaelSebastianTodd]

all the stations in this vlog look lovely and im loving the scenery along this line and nice to see some 153s and class 67 locos brilliant vlog

[@jacobporrett]

Great video Simon

[@DennosManCave]

Great video mate. Just be thankful you get regional trains at all. Here in Australia, most places get one or two services a day! Oh, and "Leominster" is best pronounced "Lem-ster"

[@michellebell5092]

Excellent days trains, it’s inevitable that you’ll encounter delays. I seem having that allot recently, Code reds and the like .

[@jackreed4271]

Even though virtually every service was running late you still got a day out of it and the stations which I’ve been through myself look nice places to train spot so apart from the delays another great video it was Simon 👍🏻

[@antman09ful1]

Very entertaining video Simon.

[@TicTacTrolleyServiceTico]

Despite the delays due to what was going on between Crewe-Manchester, It's been an excellent vlog with Superior Sprinter action! I'd like to Venture out to the Welsh Marshes line one day. Yes Leominster was the western Terminus with the line from the now disused Bransford Road Jcn between Worcester & Malvern Link.

I was in Cardiff on Saturday, delays were bad!

[@SamsVlogstrainsmore]

Great vlog on the West Marches Line Simon. I’ve only ever been to Hereford & Shrewsbury on these lines but from Birmingham. Nice to see the class 67 Locos along this section it’s a section I definitely want to do one day. Shame about the delays though. I enjoyed watching as always.

[@ReubenAshwell]

Brilliant video Cyber, I've never travelled down the Welsh Marshes line, the stations look nice and it has brilliant scenery. Pity about all the trains running late though.

[@Monty13Transport]

Delays? Always delays on the Welsh Marches Line, live on it. TfW's normal thing being late!

[@Sim0nTrains]

That I can agree with being honest, whenever I'm at Crewe, Chester, on the Crewe to Manchester Line I do notice the delays and terminate the train early

@@Sim0nTrains Yep, normally at Wilmslow on the Manchester line but, they only have 15 minutes to go back to Cardiff/Swansea/Pembroke Dock or where ever.

[@peterjackson-cheadleheath1182]

Hi Simon A very nice video, unlucky with the late running but you got to all the places youi wanted to, by the way did you get any bargains from Hereford Model Centre...lol. Thanks

[@Andrewjg_89]

Typical of trains being delayed. Maybe it’s because of the bad weather and the heatwave that has been causing lots of issues on the railways.

[@MrGreatplum]

I guess if all of the trains were delayed then it didn’t matter too much as everything just took 20 minutes longer? I “think” that Leominster could be pronounced Lemster which is even more weird! The class 67 pulling the rake of coaches had a very boring livery - are there not TfW liveried locos?

[@simondimps1002]

iam from hereford are you from hfd has well

[@LemoncloudGT]

If this was transpennine express, every train would be cancelled

[@thebrummierailenthusiasts5329]

Why was every train delayed simon

[@TicTacTrolleyServiceTico]

not again dammit! Simon literally explained it In the video of you Watch it!

[@tsl56]

Leominster is not even pronounced /lem-minster/. It's always /lem-ster/. You can't really teach an Englishman how to pronounce Llanelli, as it is far easier to just mimic the accompanying grunge of a true native, which I am not. My pronunciation of Llanelli is fairly spot-on however, but that is because I started to learn Welsh at Bargoed in the 60s. /bar-goid/ or /bar-gud/ to most Wenglish speaking locals, by the way. ;-) Rock on Simon! :-)

[@smallsleepyrascalcat]

Every train delayed? Sounds more like Germany than Wales. 🤣
