The 9th March 2024 saw Pathfinder Tours operating a railtour to Cwmbargoed; the Cwm and Glo. Starting at Burton-on-Trent the railtour would head into South Wales.Bbefore heading into Newport, the railtour would change ends and head onto the East Usk Branch. A line used by freight traffic, allowing some rare mileage for those on board. The second, and last freight line the tour would cover is the Taff Bargoed branch. The branch leads to the open cast mine, of which has recently closed down, resulting in the end of large coal mining in Wales. Which begs the question, could this be last train to work the Cwmbargoed branch?
