Lovely video, most of my spotting trips started from Newport (we didn’t have a car so my Aunt would run me to the station from Bedwas) I spent a ton of time there it was magic and as a bonus there’s some lovely HST Valenta screams in the footage too! Thanks so much for posting this

That looked a good station to go to. I never got there in those days.
It was a little drab looking then.....but very busy for coal and steel freight.....best wishes....Mark
