Black Five 45212 stars as it tours around Pembrokeshire

Sunday April 27 marked day two of the Railway Touring Company's Great Britain XVII tour for a tour of the branch lines of Pembrokeshire. Making its way from Bristol Temple Meads, the train would go down the Pembroke Dock branch line where back in the day, holiday express trains from Paddington would take tourists to Tenby and other holiday resorts in South Pembrokeshire. The train would then visit Fishguard Harbour where a steam train has not visited for a good ten years. (You can get a four hour ferry from here to Rosslare in Ireland Finally the train would go down the Milford Haven branch, where back in the day was a busy harbour port for fish traffic and other important goods. Steam trains in Pembrokeshire are rare in themselves so for a steam train to visit all the lines in Pembrokeshire is something that is unlikely to be repeated for a good while. A great day all around Filming locations are as follows. Whitland station Manorbier station Llanion level crossing Tenby station Sepertine Road Bridge in Tenby Narberth Station. Clarbeston Road Station Haverfordwest Station Clay Lane foot crossing (Haverfordwest) Note the driver of the Class 57 receiving the token from the signalman at Whitland for the Pembroke Dock branch.
