Class 116 set C354 (presumably 50847 + 59040 + 50900) at Treherbert Rhondda in June 1973. It had been transferred from Laira to Cardiff Canton the previously year, which should explain the C stuck in the set number. Peter Brabham.

DMU set C354 (presumably 50847 + 59040 + 50900) is leaving the single line section south of Abercynon with the 15.50 Merthyr-Barry Island, while C301 (presumably 51149 + 59446 + 51136) waits with the 15.05 from Barry Island to Merthyr. Some interesting reflections. April 27, 1974. Tom Burnham.
