Ah Thanks - makes sense.It's in Pengam Sidings
There was disruption/congestion at central due to cable theft - it set off late so maybe the loco had to return before it got to Canton? Or maybe limited space at Canton?Just messaged by daughter who lives by the sidings, she has confirmed there is a passenger train there. Wonder why it didn't make it down to the depot.

what moved it on...?769008 back at Cardiff canton depot
what moved it on...?
Now we wait to see if it moves under its own power any time before Easter.
in other words, 57301 was left attached to it at Pengam, so that did it.The loco that was left attached to it at Pengam
Slightly more believable than May 2019 thoughA TfW spokesman has stated in RAIL 896, p. 22, that the 769s will be introduced in passenger service on the Rhymney line from the May 2020 TT change. As with anything related to the 769s, I think that needs to be taken with several buckets of salt though.
Does anybody know yet whether the 769s for the Rhymney valley will be 3+2 seating or 2+2?Slightly more believable than May 2019 though

Think that's the first time I've seen it in TfW livery. It looks good.
That's been quoted a few times might actually happen especially since it might be a good sign that 008 is the carriage sidings rather than the workshopsFirst test of 769 on 16 February apparently. This is about fourth hand information so I can't be sure of how reliable it is.
Apparently it's now sometime during w/c 17 February.That's been quoted a few times might actually happen especially since it might be a good sign that 008 is the carriage sidings rather than the workshops
Any updates on this? Paths on RTT? Will they take them up to Rhymney I wonder?Apparently it's now sometime during w/c 17 February.
From what I've heard (so take it with a pinch of salt)...Any updates on this? Paths on RTT? Will they take them up to Rhymney I wonder?
