4K TfW || Holyhead to Cardiff || North to South Wales || Relaxed train journey

Take a sunny, spring day in far northwest Wales and do a rail trip to the capital, Cardiff, a 4½hr journey condensed into just over half an hour. Along the way, we'll see the coast of north Wales - including a brief look around Llandudno - and the majesty of the Welsh Marches. It's also a trip back to our train's birthplace, CAF Newport. Join me on a Class 197 meandering the Welsh (and some English) countryside. Kettle on - mug of tea at the ready! #trainride #beaches #travel 00:00 Holyhead inc: 01:20 Our ride and the route 04:27 Valley 05:01 Llanfairpwll 05:47 Bangor 06:57 Llanfairfechan 07:34 Conwy Castle 08:18 Llandudno Jct inc: 08:38 Llandudno/Great Orme 10:01 Colwyn Bay 11:05 Rhyl 11:31 Prestatyn 12:40 Flint 13:18 Shotton 13:29 Chester 16:29 Wrexham General 17:53 Ruabon 18:50 Chirk 19:28 Gobowen 20:08 Shrewsbury inc: 21:07 Severn Bridge Jct 22:22 Church Stretton 23:45 Craven Arms 24:29 Ludlow 25:12 Leominster 26:06 Hereford 29:16 Abergavenny 30:07 Pontypool & New Inn 30:59 Newport 31:29 Cardiff Central Intro track: Wolf Moon by Unicorn Heads Source: YouTube Audio Library Route Map Track: "Down For It" Music provided by https://slip.stream Download / Stream: https://get.slip.stream/oFZL5V End titles track: Longer Distance by TrackTribe Source: YouTube Audio Library Mar 2024
