Train Journey To Wales | Splitting Trains, The Cambrian Coast & Welsh Names | Vlog

In this journey from Birmingham to Porthmadog in Wales,
1. We watch trains reversing and splitting
2. We struggle to drink a British Tea
3. We absolutely murder pronouncing Welsh names

Train : Birmingham International - Pwllhelli
Operator : Transport For Wales
Rolling Stock : Class 158
A few people have asked me to speak in my videos and make vlogs. Some others have been happy with my natural and relatively silent videos. In UK, I think it is a better idea to make a Vlog as there is not much to show from closed doors and windows. I have made sure I do not blabber shit, although I am not very sure about the ETCS / ERTMS part.
THE CAMBRIAN LINE
The Cambrian Line (Welsh: Rheilffordd y Cambrian) is a railway line that runs from Shrewsbury (in Shropshire, England) to Aberystwyth (in Ceredigion) and Pwllheli (in Gwynedd), both on the west coast of Wales.
The railway is scenic: it runs through the Cambrian Mountains in central Wales and along the coast of Cardigan Bay. From Shrewsbury, the line heads west through northern Powys, serving the towns of Welshpool and Newtown. It then continues West calling at Caersws and then Machynlleth. At Dovey Junction, a short distance west of Machynlleth, the line splits into two branches: the southern branch goes to Aberystwyth, and the longer, northern branch continues to Pwllheli via the Cambrian Coast Line, crossing the River Mawddach by Barmouth Bridge.
The line includes long sections of rural single track and is designated as a community rail partnership.
Ansaldo installed ERTMS In Cab ETCS (European Train Control System) level 2, class 1, specification V2.3.0 in 2011 (as noted below). As the name suggests, the driver receives the instructions for movement on the cab display. This level does not require conventional fixed signals - therefore all the existing signals and RETB boards have been removed.

Coming to the Journey, good to see you FINALLY. I was about to label the journey as boring too, but the 2nd part of the journey made it interesting to watch after the split, high speed run through the beaches of the Ocean. Overall good coverage. Hoping to see you back with Indian Express trains soon

Not kidding, there are times when I feel like leaving in the description, "please don't watch. I just did not like to see it unlisted and I got no memory on G-Drive"

That was a good trip. Did not expect to see myself in the vlog but It was pretty funny to see. I loved your pronunciation of the welsh names! Was still better than me though

Love the Cambrian Coast Line. There are 5 Locomotive hauled trains going to Pwllheli in 2024. The first one is 4th April 2024 all being well.

As a Welsh speaker I can tell you that what you are unable to read tells you exactly the same as the English sign you red bellow.

[@_the_train_guy]

Thanks for that mate :) And, apologies for absolutely murdering your language

[@WelshMichigander.]

@@_the_train_guy I got a laugh at the way you pronounced Wales ( W sounded like a V ) and you did pronounce some of the places better than most English people do, I was impressed by the way you said Pwllheli, Porthmadog Aberystwyth and Ffestiniog.

Seriously didn't knew that the trains in UK are so boring looks wise, also disappointed to see the cleanliness of the train, Window shields are so yellowish and faded. They are nothing as compared to our LHB rakes look wise as well as comfort wise.

I did this Steam train journey on 31st Dec and honestly, that was the only interesting journey I have made. Thanks to open windows and a steam loco powering. Other times, I need to search for something to keep me interested to even capture. :(
