Wishful thinking and I wish it was true, but it's not. I believe it's still the continuation of this move back in 2018, simply consisting of Wire Rod produced in Cardiff Celsa to Burton.

180725 66127 6V50 Burton-on-Trent (MH) - Cardiff Tidal 9992

DB Cargo 66127 rounds the curve at Tibberton with the 6V50 Burton-on-Trent West Yard (Maurice Hill) - Cardiff Tidal consisted of twenty-one heavily graffitied and now empty VGA wagons used on the outward working (6M50) to convey wire rod from the Celsa plant in Cardiff Docks to Burton-on-Trent.

Why do people film with their mobile phones held vertically when horizontal would almost fill computer screens as well as u-tube?

Bizarrely this is a behavioural response;

• It is how people use the phones for calls and using most apps - A4 etc. And book format (A4 referrring to paper before some steam enthusiasts have a go) is usually vertical and that is how people still think. It's fine showing it back in a screen you can easily rotate like a phone, so not seen as an issue.
• You can film a video in "landscape" on your phone very easily, but it is possible to do this upside down and most people do not have software to flip a video unlike photos, and it's a pain to do anything with, so they use portrait which always shows the right way up.

It is annoying to see though as we still think as images in landscape, but we actually see a large circle - landscapes are that shape as we use the horizon as the median and look e.g. left to right to get a bigger picture.

Very off topic, but much more interesting than the original question...
