Class 142 based at Cardiff

[mwnl]

My Dad is looking for a few class 142's that are based at Cardiff, does anybody know if you can see them a bit further north. Unit numbers are 142006, 010, 069, 075, 077, 083.

They go up the Valleys, thats North, but if you want a chance to see a few of them then Cardiff is your best bet.

These units will be on the following services:

Penarth to Bargoed/Rhymney
Coryton to Radyr
Barry to Merthyr/Aberdare
Bridgend to Aberdare
Cardiff to Treherbert
Possibly a Swanline service.

Cardiff Queen Street is the best bet for them.

We can add Swansea to Pembroke Dock to the list and also, on Sundays, Cheltenham.

The swanline diagram which doesnt interwork with the Heart Of Wales line has usually been worked by a class 142 on saturdays

Give yourself two and a half hours at Cardiff central and everything diagrammed on valley lines should come past.
A trip on the city line toward Radyr should give a good view of stuff at Canton unless tucked away inside though this summer with the pacers doing Swansea to Pembroke dock you may need to venture further west

Could be a Class 143. They are treated as 1 fleet for operational and diagramming purposes.
Likewise Pembroke Docks
