TfW to operate Class 37s on the Rhymney Line

[Please Explain]

Glad i never made the trip to Caerdydd for the supposed final run on Friday now! I'd have been VERY cranky and no amount of Brains would make it worth the treck after such an epic bowl!!
I feel for the lads who made the effort and missed out.

Would be nice if TfW surprised us all tonight and fired up 418 and the rake for one last hurrah up the Valley's..
Mega wishful thinking, i know...

The stock has been taken to Landore for storage today

Yeah, i guessed after reading that surprisingly detailed log on journey plan mentioned up-thread.
All good things must end it would seem, c'est la vie!

Paid for until mid May ish on the contract so carriages will remain in store in case TFW had a hyperthetical reason to use them between now and then. After that they will be moved back to Burton and await use for occasional charter or hire purposes in the future. The reality is that there was little prospect of them being called to action again even before the current global crisis. It just covers TFW's backs that it is holding onto an asset that is paid for in the 1 in 100 style scenario several units all became unavailable long term all at once then theoretically there would be 4 units to rob off the weekday Rhymney commuter diagrams. Not at all likely, but the eventuality is covered.

“47813 with its 'Thank You NHS' message passes through Canton, #Cardiff this evening with a Landore Depot-Burton on Trent stock movement. The 10 MkII carriages were used on the 37-hauled passenger services on the Rhymney Valley until earlier this year. @Richard_rail @RailOpsGroup”
