Nice video Paul thanks for posting, I though they were 231002 & 004 (though I appreciate they look similar) also did you catch what the 66’s please?

Ok thanks

Train weight is showing as 600 tonnes? I seem to remember reading that a 231 was 160 odd tonnes if I remember correctly. Then I guess loco/s and barrier wagons.

I've heard the Thurs arrival date mentioned a few times now from difference sources so will be interesting to see if it materialises. Still be a long time before we see out on the Valley lines.

So have they given a date of delivery into the UK of the first 231/756, then I'm guess into service sometime next year?

I think it was loss of traction. We shall see what pops up.

Lol or Simms in Newport!

Anyone have any ideas what will have happen to 769452 after Saturday's failure. Last time it failed and was dragged to Rhymney it managed to get back to Canton 2 days later on its own? I believe it's still attached to 37418 at Rhymney so wonder if it's fixable or whether it will need a middle of...
