Frank up Pen-y-Fan. Walking to the top!
Frank takes the train along the Valley Lines from Cardiff Central on a Diesel Multiple Unit (DMU) Class 150/2 Sprinter run by Trafnidiaeth Cymru/Transport for Wales (TFW) The track in Cardiff Central is managed by Network Rail, whereas after at Cardiff Queen Street it is run by TFW. The Sprinter was made by British Rail Engineering Limited (BREL) at Holbrook in Leeds, Yorkshire. The Valley Lines are being Electrified in part using 25kV AC overhead wires as part of the South Wales Metro. The train climbs up the Taf Valley passing Pontypridd and onwards passing the stations where Frank gets the first view of Pen-y-Fan between Merthyr Vale and Troed-y-Rhiw. The train terminates at the currently single platform in Merthyr Tydfil.
