    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.

    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! :)
