Trains @ Swindon, GWML + GVL - 04/04/18

In this video, I visit Swindon on the Great Western Mainline and the junction for the Golden Valley Line. Services are seen by Great Western Railway only.
Overall, Swindon was a great visit again for a short period of time. Featuring was 800009 John Charles + Sir Gareth Edwards. A recommended station to visit.
Thanks For Watching.

DrDoo YT Thank you! Oh right, yeah I remember back then.

[@125crezzerig6]

Toby Trainspotter well you deserve it anyway.....I haven’t had time to make many videos to grow with all the stuff that’s happened recently eg the N word and the R word (I don’t like to say Nina and Robert it makes me sad)

[@tobytrainspotter]

DrDoo YT Don’t worry about it. It’s better to get through what is happening in your life than uploading. Try and stay strong :)

[@allmyothersubscriptions]

Didcot to Wootten Bassett overhead wires go live in May 2018!

[@tobytrainspotter]

Isaac O Awesome!

[@alexpeak16]

Do you know when in May? Will it be at the end of the month? Won't be long before we see IEPs on services to Cheltenham Spa.

[@allmyothersubscriptions]

Alex Peak I am not sure when exactly in May, probably towards the end. There are already some services to Cheltenham that are operated by class 800's.

[@orbitarchive346]

Isaac O its may!!!!!!!!

[@allmyothersubscriptions]

The wires are up in Swindon!

[@tobytrainspotter]

Isaac O Yes, I’ve seen them.

[@thewiltshiretrainspotter1152]

[@Great_WesternTVFan]

0:03 far side on the left, there was a two car purple train. What's that?

[@tobytrainspotter]

Lubdhak Das I’m pretty sure that is a double decker bus.

[@Great_WesternTVFan]

Toby Trainspotter but I can't see it's a double decker. It has two cars lol

[@tobytrainspotter]

Lubdhak Das Oh Lol! In that case I have no idea 😂

[@Great_WesternTVFan]

Toby Trainspotter ha :D

[@Great_WesternTVFan]

Toby Trainspotter also there was a siding for freight locomotives at the start of platform 4. I don't know why people did not mention that siding. Lol! Sidings can be seen almost everywhere!
