Even though I've never been to Cardiff, I remember hearing about how the Cardiff Bay shuttle used to be run by an old Class 121 diesel railcar from the early 1960s. I wonder what happened to that unit after its retirement.
Hiya g, awesome video and the 150 waltz wow, i have not heard of these stations but they sound very nice, I have purchased a senior rail card last week and i have a list of stations to visit next year including parson and Cardiff bay thanks g xxx ❤
Only just found your channel, and watched most of your vids. I've come to the conclusion, you are totally bonkers! You're a breath of fresh air G! Love it and please carry on being you!
Awesome video, G! We'll all be quietly congratulating every engaged toilet that we find. Good job in getting your waltz moves to fit with the very non-waltz music too
The toilet... it a poo job but someone have to do it to obtain the footage for this brilliant video! lol Brilliant Video and I might visit the Valley Lines in 2022, Also been to that location of Torchwood as well.
Brilliant video G. :) The refurbed TFW class 150's just like the unreferbed are very nice indeed and Cardiff bay sure is a beautiful place. Nice to see you wnet up to Pontypridd, that was where I stayed when I first went to South Wales as a kid. :)
My late dad was a guard on the valleys lines back in the 70s when the service was run with 116 units was very run down and the service was on the verge of closure the valley lines have changed so much over the years 🏴
Great to see one of your videos from somewhere so local. If you had carried on up the hill from the barrage, you'll get to a little park called Penarth Head where you get a great view of the Severn Estuary and of Penarth Pier
Great video G. The 150s are really loud. You can't hear yourself think lol. TFW WiFi is normally really good on the trains so I don't know why you had problems. I've been to Cardiff Bay before and it's really nice.
If your on abt modern Class 150s the GWR ones look so modern. Also I think that Northern may change the seat frames again and also, I swear I saw an article about some 150/2s with Northern will be converted to 4 car.
If Transport for Wales are to replace the Class 150 DMU Sprinters with new trains coming in. Then I would think that they should go to Great Western Railway to be used on the Dartmoor Line since the Dartmoor Line is now reopened.
Yet another awesome Vlog Glovestrains the scenery at Cardiff Bay is breathtaking it looks amazing and there’s definitely plenty of beautiful scenery along the route too Il agree with the TFW 150s do look very modern indeed I really do enjoy watching your travel adventures G carry on being awesome and keep up the good work and I look forward to seeing future Vlogs until then take care and stay safe
Fantastic video! TFW's 150s are really good imo, and the seats are just lush. When I used the wifi on tfw's 150s it actually worked pretty well and the speed was impressive. :)
Those 150s are still super loud no matter which operator you get them on (GWR, Northern etc). Seems a nice trip down from Pontypridd into Cardiff Bay though and at least the timetable means some routes from Queen Street (still with the ATW blue posts on the platforms!) to Cardiff Bay so there's some level of service around. Must do that walk from the bay to Penarth next time I'm down there so good to point that out too - excellent! :)
Tend to travel from further down the route into Cardiff (Either taffs well or Treforest), not the best units but just like the pacers we had they’ve done what they needed to do
If the screens are off and no announcements and no connection to WiFi I’d say all are connected! Reason they look smarter is they can be used on long distance inter regional services like manchester Carmarthen or Maestag
If you fancy an interesting and somewhat gradient wrenching ride in a DMU try the Service from Glasgow to Oban route via Loch Lomond ! Not only is the scenery spectacular but one wonders what would happen in case of traction or brake manifold pressure failure around Ardlui which is where I also stayed (at The Ardlui Hotel ) on a week's Pike Fishing Holiday !
Brill vid G! The refurbished 150s do look great! Whenever you next come down you should get the Grangetown branch and have a look at the new flirts! By the way it's Kai err philly not cur philly
Love your videos young lady, been watching them all day. I'm from Wales and now live in Canada. FYI for you though - Your pronounciation of Pontypridd is incorrect, it should rhyme with breathe. It might phonetically look like Pontypreeth.
Hi G! Love what you do here! Just wondering if we can chat about a film project I'm working on? It's a pilot episode for TV that a mate (Andy Christie) and I are making, and we think you could be good for it. Hopefully chat soon!

Even though I've never been to Cardiff, I remember hearing about how the Cardiff Bay shuttle used to be run by an old Class 121 diesel railcar from the early 1960s. I wonder what happened to that unit after its retirement.
I think it went to the Wensleydale Railway.
@@AlasdairMacCaluim yes, it is at Wensleydale
Hiya g, awesome video and the 150 waltz wow, i have not heard of these stations but they sound very nice, I have purchased a senior rail card last week and i have a list of stations to visit next year including parson and Cardiff bay thanks g xxx ❤

Another fantastic video G. You are amazing to watch. Your videos are just so fun and joyful. Keep them up👍
Aww thanks you!
Awesome video, G! We'll all be quietly congratulating every engaged toilet that we find. Good job in getting your waltz moves to fit with the very non-waltz music too
Haha! Looool anything is waltzable it seems 😂
Am I the only person who hasn’t been on a TFW yet? This is really tempting😅. Another brill vid Georgia❤️
Yup I think so haha, thanks Ellie! 😀
I haven’t either. Last time I was in Wales, the railways hadn’t been privatised yet! 🤣
@@GLovesTrains are the best ☺️🙂❤️
The toilet... it a poo job but someone have to do it to obtain the footage for this brilliant video! lol Brilliant Video and I might visit the Valley Lines in 2022, Also been to that location of Torchwood as well.
And to see the new trains in service including the Class 197 Civity and the Class 231 & Class 756 Flirts.
It stank 😂😂
Brilliant video G. :) The refurbed TFW class 150's just like the unreferbed are very nice indeed and Cardiff bay sure is a beautiful place. Nice to see you wnet up to Pontypridd, that was where I stayed when I first went to South Wales as a kid. :)
Oooh nice one! Thanks Reuben!

Brilliant video, I can see why you like Cardiff so much, it looks lovely 🥰 thanks for bringing a bit of summer to these dark winter nights x
Haha thanks!
Another Welsh-tastic video from ya G 😄🏴 nice to see all the trees and flowing water in action! 😂 #TreesLovesTrains
Hahaha trees in action for sure!
Lovely trip, but noisy trains 😮. That bridge at Pontypridd looks amazing!
Gotta love that noise 😂
Glad you enjoyed travelling with us, G! ^Bryn
As always! Thanks Bryn!
i really enjoyed this one the refurbishment looks fab on the TFW 150s Brilliant vlog as always
Thanks Michael!

Class 150s junkers!! NoIsey dirty I remember them on the snow hill lines in Birmingham 😃
Great video G. The 150s are really loud. You can't hear yourself think lol. TFW WiFi is normally really good on the trains so I don't know why you had problems. I've been to Cardiff Bay before and it's really nice.
The blue 150 WiFi works for me, but the red... 😂
@@GLovesTrains Ah no... Maybe it will work next time.
The Queen Street - Cardiff Bay shuffles are back running now! I missed them too
Thanks for the video G,very senic tree route must visit the bay one day love the class 150s but then I just love thumpers demu!!😎🚃🚃🇬🇧
Thankssss! And you must!
If your on abt modern Class 150s the GWR ones look so modern. Also I think that Northern may change the seat frames again and also, I swear I saw an article about some 150/2s with Northern will be converted to 4 car.
Excellent vblog as always Georgina. Safe travelling always

Thankyouuu! And yes they are all loud 😂
I’ve been on a 153 from Crewe to Chester the Other day
In the world of railway vlogging, you must surely be Royalty!
Love the class 150. Great video G. Have a wicked week 👍👍👍 x
Have a wicked week yaself!
Wow this brought back so many memories not been to Cardiff Bay for too long .and lucky you a whole carriage all to yourself .
Did look that way haha
Great video as usual
Thanks!
Great video 👍
Relatively new to the channel... impressive job! What about doing the 6 hour 175 Manchester Piccadilly to Milford Haven trip? :)
Thanks! Was gonna do that this year but then MerseyTravel asked me to go to the depot so I've had to put the Milf Haven on hold 😂
The 150 waltz. To be done on Northern and GWR!
Of course!
Tend to travel from further down the route into Cardiff (Either taffs well or Treforest), not the best units but just like the pacers we had they’ve done what they needed to do
When your on a 150! You put your gloves on your feet WHEN YOU ON A 150! YOU PUT YOUR GLOVES ON YOUR FEET AND SHOUT SUNSCREENS
When you're at Cardiff Bay you sing the "Knickers on your head" song in Welsh hahaha
Amazing video legend gloves trains i was enjoy watch your videos ❤❤❤❤😍😍
Thanks!
@@GLovesTrains I am big fan of you channel
If the screens are off and no announcements and no connection to WiFi I’d say all are connected! Reason they look smarter is they can be used on long distance inter regional services like manchester Carmarthen or Maestag
Cardiff to Manchester on any 150 would be my idea of hell!
Loving it Georgia! I see why people who arent from the north like 150s! 😆😂
Thankyouuuu, who are these people 😂
But where's the video of your journey to Pontypridd, past my house in Shrewsbury?
If you fancy an interesting and somewhat gradient wrenching ride in a DMU try the Service from Glasgow to Oban route via Loch Lomond ! Not only is the scenery spectacular but one wonders what would happen in case of traction or brake manifold pressure failure around Ardlui which is where I also stayed (at The Ardlui Hotel ) on a week's Pike Fishing Holiday !
I used to live a few miles away from there in the valleys
Brill vid G! The refurbished 150s do look great! Whenever you next come down you should get the Grangetown branch and have a look at the new flirts! By the way it's Kai err philly not cur philly
It's my accent cant help it, and thanks haha!
@@GLovesTrains haha some can't help how they say it! And no problem! I can post a link of a picture to the brand new flirts we got
Love your videos young lady, been watching them all day. I'm from Wales and now live in Canada. FYI for you though - Your pronounciation of Pontypridd is incorrect, it should rhyme with breathe. It might phonetically look like Pontypreeth.
Great video GLOVESTRAINS I love watching all your videos girl keep it up girl you are funny and cool 😎 friend
Thanks!
lovely British railway! I love it!
I used to live close to the top of that hill, I’ve only done it once it’s too steep!
At first I was really confused by the weather on this video. But then I read that it was from June 😛
Haha yeah!
Don’t think I’ve been on a 150 since the early ‘90s. They didn’t last all that long around here before 156s took over.
As you probably know, today is the 58th anniversary of start of Dr Who. Was your timing deliberate?
Tbh it wasn't haha! Coincidence!
Was that the line that ran from Aberdare to Penarth?
Soon these trains will be replaced by the Class 398 Citylink Tram-Trains as part of a South Wales Metro
You can't beat a nice 150 :)
Excellent as always, G 👍
Did you manage to have a ride on a TFW filthy bugger (class 769) when you were in Penarth ?
I rode on one.... from Queen Street to Central or maybe the other way round haha
Hi G! Love what you do here!
Just wondering if we can chat about a film project I'm working on? It's a pilot episode for TV that a mate (Andy Christie) and I are making, and we think you could be good for it.
Hopefully chat soon!
Thanks! I will check soon 😀
@@GLovesTrains - Awesome! Thanks and looking forward to it!
I ended up on an unrefurbished 150 the other day. Please help…
Hi gloves trains
