Ferryside Training Run
A couple of hours after the previous shot of a Class 197, unit 013 is seen again, this time at Ferryside. As part of the training regime, the units replicate exactly what it would be expected to do when in service, in this instance it is slowing for a brief stop whilst working 3E22, the 15.55 Carmarthen to Swansea.
Photographed on 6 February 2023 as the last rays of wintry sunlight cast shadows across the platform. The train was running about 20-minutes late and a service train was quite rightly, allowed to run ahead. Immediately behind me is the signal box and the 'bobby' very kindly opened his door to tell me what progress was being made, very kind of him.
