A Swindon Cross-Country Class 120 unit during its stop at Llanwrtyd Wells on the Central Wales line, date unknown. A member of staff appears to be inspecting the engine or other underframe component. Steve Davies Collection.
The Central Wales Line used to be operated with pairs of class 120 "Cross Country" motor coaches fitted with headlights (at a time this was unusual in Britain) because of the numerous level crossing on the line. The photo was taken on a circular "Central Wales roundabout" ticket which allowed one to travel from London to Swansea, Shrewsbury (via the Central Wales) and back to London (or v.v) for a bargain fare. I imagine this was taken (at Llanwrtyd Wells on September 16, 1978, presumably 50664 + 50702) while waiting for another train to cross. The line, from Llanelli to Craven Arms, is now known as the Heart of Wales line. Jeremy Chapter.
Set C600 (presumably led by 50702) is seen at Llanwrtyd in 1980. Hamish Stevenson.
975090 / 975089 are seen at Llanwrtyd Wells, date unknown. Tom Clift.
The DMU on a Swansea to Shrewsbury on June 30 1986 failed is seen at Llanwrtyd Wells being rescued by 25 266. The leading car - Met-Camm DMC 51517 - is partnered with a Cross-Country DMBC, presumably Class 119 51077 which it had been noted running with around this time. Jonathan Hazan.
W51517 was part of a failed Swansea - Shrewsbury service on June 30 1986, seen at Llanwrtyd Wells after rescued by 25 266. Jonathan Hazan.
A class 101 DMU (C806 presumably 51799 + 51808) at Llanwrtyd Wells on 30th June 1986. This train had broken down and was awaiting rescue. Jonathan Hazan.
I like this one, even though it's the end of the roll. A class 101 Metro Cammell DMU (C806, presumably 51799) peeks out from behind the station building at Llanwrtyd Wells on 30th June 1986. The DMU was on a Swansea to Shrewsbury service on the Heart of Wales line. It had failed and we were waiting to be rescued. I can't remember how long we were stuck here, but help eventually arrived in the shape of a class 25, which dragged us all the way to Shrewsbury. Jonathan Hazan.
S952 (presumably 52045 + 53625) at Llanwrtyd Wells, circa 1987. Stephen Williams.
