Taken in September 2019 - following switch-on Newport to Cardiff electrification. This was before the big timetable update of December 2019, so there were long stops at most stations. I have put mood-music on to cover over us talking, if you don't like the music please mute.

The Severn tunnel is the spookiest, imagine walking through that in the middle of the night!! š±š«

Loving the audio - works so well. Very chill - and what a beautiful day that mustāve been. Never has a trip through the Severn tunnel seemed so ethereal!

Interesting and unique ride to see the GWML from the rear. Electrification should continue to Swansea, Bristol Temple Meads, Oxford and to Taunton from Newbury.

That was enjoyable, thank you, how fast are you going 10min into ride? Wow!

Thanks for sharing. The line passes through some beautiful country. The electrification must be a contender for one of the ugliest wiring schemes in the world. The trains suspension is a bit rough riding as well.

Can you do front facing some time, the music makes it better imo,, do you know the artist song name?

Then how comes that the electrification suddenly stopped at Cardiff Central. At least GWR Class 800 and Class 802 can go to Cardiff City fully electric and change to diesel mode at Cardiff Central to continue to Swansea. Plus nice lovely music as well.
