Heanors are removing 37408 from Rhymney to Toton this morning. Passed under Pontlottyn viaduct at 10.02 hrs & is routed up to A465 Heads of the Valley road, down to Neath & onto M4 where it picks up a Police escort for a final run past Margam depot. Over new Severn bridge & up M5. Not expected to get past Worcester area today due to the heat.

47839 should make it's first outing to Rhymney tonight - 1st Brush hauled Valley line service since the 'Royals' were on Bargoed shuttles about five years ago. As alluded to last week 37419 making a comeback - possibly Tuesday night depending on outcome of final tests.
