Wandering On The Valley Lines

I took some of the Valley Line trains from Cardiff.

The weather was good, as you could see. I first went up to Risca and then after returning to Cardiff, I took a train up to Bargoed.

On this trip and my previous one some weeks ago, I encountered typical Welsh scenery with lots of clean and tidy stations, many of which were being upgraded with lifts and decent access.

But although the train to Risca was a decent Class 158, the other journeys were done in Pacers with more rattles than a large nursery.

The lines are crying out for electrification and a fleet of much better trains.
