30th June 1986

A class 101 Metro-Cammell DMU (C806 presumably 51799 + 51808) waits at Llandovery, for another service coming from Shrewsbury to cross, I think. The driver passes the time of day chatting to a woman on the platform. Jonathan Hazan.

30th June 1986

I like this one, even though it's the end of the roll. A class 101 Metro Cammell DMU (C806, presumably 51799) peeks out from behind the station building at Llanwrtyd Wells on 30th June 1986. The DMU was on a Swansea to Shrewsbury service on the Heart of Wales line. It had failed and we were waiting to be rescued. I can't remember how long we were stuck here, but help eventually arrived in the shape of a class 25, which dragged us all the way to Shrewsbury. Jonathan Hazan.

Do you have any images of the set you can add?
