Rails in Wales. Treherbert line reopens. All stations and window views.

Join me on February 26th 2024 for a ride up to Treherbert and back to Pontypridd with 20258/235. You will see the extensive improvements and extra passing points at stations along the line. Also new platforms, lifts and footbridges.

I continue to marvel at the mega infrastructure investment. Thanks for sharing.

Great film

[@jerryhayes9497]

Very nice 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Amazing investment in infrastructure and nice to record the 150s going about their business, as probably for not much longer. A good solid design but they must be the oldest dmu left at around 40. They'd be ideal on heritage railways like the pacers.

Nice to see the line open again. What drives me nuts on the valley lines trains is the automated station announcements saying 'thank you' at the end of each announcement! (Thank you for what exactly? pointless noise) I hope this disappears on the new trains when we finally get them!

[@letrainavapeur]

Don't bank on it getting any better, the Rhymney line train announcements are even worse.

[@simonadams71]

Tweeted TfW about the 'thank you' and was ignored as usual!

[@JasonLong4875]

Always interesting videos you make Mike, and enjoyable to watch, are you going to film along the Ebbw Vale line?, as you probably already know there is new track laid between Crosskeys and Aberbeeg Junction, with new platforms at Llanhilleth and Newbridge,

Thanks for the tip off, I missed that info. I'll have another £9.20 Valley Rover soon. Thanks again

Be careful might be a ghost train at treherbert a 116 unit coming from cymmer afon through the blaenrhondda tunnel 🙂!!!!

[@letrainavapeur]

Let us know when, there will be a platform full of us with cameras at Treherbert that day

[@breeze1472]

so has Treherbert had a revamp or a new station.Oh how I wish Brecon were to reopen but cant ever see that happening tbh

[@TheMichaelWilcock2016Railways]

No, have a look at part 2 of my clips this week. It's only had extra track in a new bay. Station building haven't changed; no need?

[@simonadams71]

9 months possession and they haven't replaced most of the decrepit ATW platform signs 🙄

[@TheMichaelWilcock2016Railways]

I'm sure that will come soon. Not all the wires are up at the moment
