I was on Gobowen station last evening,waiting for a colleague off the 1942 arrival from Shrewsbury, this is the feeder service off Gerald for passengers for Gobowen/Chirk/Ruabon then onwards to Holyhead, three passengers got off,leaving two more on board, I realise the train will be more busy from other stations, however the two car 158 besides having the usual "Welsh Government connecting Wales" logos had another two large logos "Ten years of Arriva Trains Wales" in large type plus another implying the same message but in a square box. I recall the units had 833 on the same sides(Not front).

I wonder how many 158s have had these logos attached,just out of interest.

Gerald passed Gobowen at 1928,at speed but extremely quiet, DVT in the lead, but too fast to see how were on board.

You have a very good memory then to remember this from 86 years ago! ;)

Just reminded me of the Milton Jones joke of how a train with an expected arrival in Hull of 1952 must have arrived late because it looked more like 1970 when he got off.
