That is the first time i've seen a Class 60 on a Tour Train or any passenger train. I'm not sure if it's the first time ever but it certainly is from my end. Brilliant catch.
Bridgend railway station is a main line station serving the town of Bridgend, south Wales. It is located approximately halfway between Cardiff Central and Swansea stations, at the point where the Maesteg Line diverges from the South Wales Main Line; it is also the western terminus of the Vale of Glamorgan Line from Cardiff. It is 165 miles measured from London Paddington. It is the fifth-busiest station in Wales, after Cardiff Central, Cardiff Queen Street, Newport and Swansea.
Thanks Arnold! South Wales is really one of the only places left where DB rule the freight traffic, also great for reliable DB 60 services! Got some awesome drivers as well. 😃
Great video mate...nice catch with the rail-tour too 👀😎👍🏽 Thats one of my local stations..if I knew you were there I would have popped along to say hello 😊👍🏽
New Transport for Wales trains coming into service from this year and next year including Class 197 Civity, Class 231 Flirt, Class 398 Citylink and Class 756 Flirt.
Thanks Ricky! 😃 The Bridgend to Bridgend services are just to put the 150 onto the mainlines because of disruption (there’s no points to cross) they usually run via Cardiff Airport.
There were swans on the line which blocked the line via Cardiff Airport so in order to run directly to Cardiff Central, 150255 had to negotiate all lines to get onto the mainline. Thanks :)
@@StarlifeStudios The most interesting thing about this was that it was a Headcode 2. Usually, trains changing platforms have a Headcode 5 (from what I get to see on your other videos like Newcastle, Oxford or Kidderminster).
@@TheArkamedBat You are right, some strange things happen when movements are unplanned and it’s easy to get confused. I actually asked the driver what he ran as and he confirmed the 2 headcode!
Hi South Games, I have considered Wimbledon in the past but the gated fast lines makes it difficult to film this. I would only produce a video here if I was able to gain access to the fast line platforms. Thanks
Thanks for your support Fahad, I am going to need a lot of help to make it work from equipment to locations so I will definitely make sure that happens. To keep it entertaining, I will probably keep live streams to major stations e.g. Birmingham New Street.
Very nice, especially those IETs. (HSTs were actually better and comfy seats unlike these we have today) I really like GWR and I always see those trains. Especially while Trainspotting at Hanwell. Overall very nice video.

Thanks Craig, I'm not sure either if its the first time ever but it certainly is a first for me recording! 😃
You can see me in this!!!! It's my local mainline station! Amazing video mate, I'VE MADE IT!!!
Great video again mate, nice variety of trains and opperators, good to see lots of spotters too
Thanks, I got much more variety here than I expected with a 158 and pair of 153s too! Glad you enjoyed Inkysquid 🙂
Great video mate. Good to see some of the South Wales freight 👍🏻

Great video mate. Nice to catch some DB Cargo freights 6:32 and 170270 were so noisy 😂
Thanks Arnold! South Wales is really one of the only places left where DB rule the freight traffic, also great for reliable DB 60 services! Got some awesome drivers as well. 😃
Excellent action at this station
Thank you for watching 😃

And with it, the rolling stock variation disappears!
Nice
Awesome video as always!
Thank you Intercity 225! 😃⭐️
Great video as always👍
Thanks again! 😃
Epic
Mega mega Bridgend railway station is. Odd that the 150's were running a very odd service Bridgend to Bridgend. Where do they run via?
Thanks Ricky! 😃 The Bridgend to Bridgend services are just to put the 150 onto the mainlines because of disruption (there’s no points to cross) they usually run via Cardiff Airport.
Awesome
Thanks Mr Aventra! ⭐️
Cool
Could we start a series of South Wales and the Great Western mainline?
That is definitely a possibility and I’m hopefully going further West very soon 👍🏻
@@StarlifeStudios 👍
Why was 150255 doing "random" movements on the platforms?
There were swans on the line which blocked the line via Cardiff Airport so in order to run directly to Cardiff Central, 150255 had to negotiate all lines to get onto the mainline. Thanks :)
@@StarlifeStudios The most interesting thing about this was that it was a Headcode 2. Usually, trains changing platforms have a Headcode 5 (from what I get to see on your other videos like Newcastle, Oxford or Kidderminster).

How do you know schedule and destination of non-passenger trains?
Why is there a 9 car 802 i thought they were 5 cars
Can you do some trainspotting at Wimbledon?
Hi South Games, I have considered Wimbledon in the past but the gated fast lines makes it difficult to film this. I would only produce a video here if I was able to gain access to the fast line platforms. Thanks
Oh alright. Thanks
@@StarlifeStudios Wimbledon is a great station because of the Croydon Tramlink and District Line
I live near Bridgend
It was a great location and I’m glad I got chance to visit 😃
I went to court Colman today
hi and hello i heiko melde me auch wieder mal from germany
Hello
Hello there GWR & TFW Spotter! 😃
Hi
hi, can you start making live streams in the future? I would really like to see those, it's like live plane spotting.
My plan is to start Live Streaming soon and I'm hoping to make it as entertaining as possible 😃
@@StarlifeStudios i cant wait! update us when you roll it out! you can even make a poll if you want to see the percentage of people interested
@@StarlifeStudios also maybe is the far future you might consider 360?
Thanks for your support Fahad, I am going to need a lot of help to make it work from equipment to locations so I will definitely make sure that happens. To keep it entertaining, I will probably keep live streams to major stations e.g. Birmingham New Street.
Definitely, if it works out well, I have a lot of plans :)
Very nice, especially those IETs. (HSTs were actually better and comfy seats unlike these we have today) I really like GWR and I always see those trains. Especially while Trainspotting at Hanwell. Overall very nice video.
As much as I despise the IETs (the HSTs were better) I aim to do a lot more GWML this year and Hanwell and Reading West are both on the list 😃 Thanks!
True the HSTs were better and I miss them and Hanwell would be a good station to do a video at. Cool channel.
@@StarlifeStudios IETs are the worst intercity train
GWR🌹🥀
