- Today at Swindon Station in Wiltshire I see many trains passing in and out passenger and freight, after going to the Swindon Steam Museum yesterday (15/8/24) I had only seen a couple of trains in Swindon, I spent over 5 hours on Swindon Station and it was great, please note that some trains were not recorded due to my battery going down more than expected.
Today at Swindon the trains I see are:
Freightliner: I had seen about 5 Freightliner Sheds (class 66s). There were 3 sheds pulling aggregates and 2 sheds pulling containers to and from Wentloog.
66952 was the first Freightliner shed I saw which was hauling a container train going from Wentloog to somewhere 506
66571
66620
66613 were also other Freightliner Sheds included in this video
GWR: I see many class 800s working towards London Paddington, Cheltenham Spa, Bristol Temple Meads, Swansea, Cardiff Central, Carmarthen. Services going from Cheltenham Spa to London Paddington were delayed and even cancelled due to signalling problems on that line. Services from Swansea & Carmarthen were running very smoothly I didn't hear much Swansea and Carmarthen services on the announcements but there were. Services to and from Cardiff Central were mostly good they were worked by IETs and the 387s, although one service the 15:10 to Cardiff Central had been cancelled due to signalling problems, which got me wondering if my train home would be cancelled but it wasn't thankfully. Services to and from Bristol Temple Meads were running very well and I reckon I heard most of the trains going to Bristol Temple Meads on the announcements, it's was unusual for me to hear Phil Sayer and the other woman that do the announcements as in Wales we have Ruth And Glyn, Ruth does the English version and Glyn does the Welsh version. I had seen a class 158 (158750 working back and forth Westbury all day which I was thankfully allowed in the cab when I was taking photos inside the train the driver said I could go in the cab very nice of him, I did ask if I could do the horn but he said no sorry, but that's OK.
Colas Rail: today the Colas rail trains I see are D73920 which is a tamper which started its journey at Reading Triangle Sidings and was very very late for some reason, I then get a huge surprise as the Hinsky Sdgs to Westbury was done by a class 70!! I was actually expecting a Colas shed but wow the 70 made my day, it had to wait in the loop for passenger and a freight train to pass and then it went.
There was supposed to be a ECS class 165 which my guess was a Chiltern 165 as it was from Wembley but it didn't run unfortunately.
DB Cargo UK: today the DB Sheds I see is 66168 working the 'Binliner' as its nicknamed because it's the train that carries bins, it wafted through Swindon but it wasn't that bad to be honest, I wonder if it was worse on platform 4 but I don't know, 66129 then worked a Tilbury to Trostre service which I've seen sheds working the service a few times. 66654 was working a very familiar service as it was 6B33 Theale Puma to Robeston Sdgs.
Bristol Parkway: CrossCountry: when my train arrived at Bristol Parkway I looked out the window and my jaw dropped, I finally saw a Voyager and it was a class 221 (221007) which meant it was a Super Voyager which meant it could tilt, these were formally with Virgin Trains Cross-country and you can still see some old Virgin Trains colours on it on the roof and on the front it had a plague with the Virgin logo which surprisingly the mark from the plaque is still there to this day.
I hope you enjoyed this video today and thanks for watching

Sorry I stopped recording while the trains were coming in but I was being there for 5 hours and my battery was going down faster than expected so I had to save the battery
Excellent session there for you Callum, good seeing 158's and awesome shed shots, Loved the very smelly bins Redshed, i could smell it from where i was! Awesome yinging too! Colas Darth was fantastic as well. I did comment way back this morning and it just disappeared? Hopefully you will see this one. Good work enjoyed cheers Nick.
Thanks Nick! Yes it was I'm glad I went in the cab of 158750, I was surprised I saw more Freightliner Sheds than DB Sheds lol, yeah loved the Binliner that thrash was absolutely mega, 😂😂😂yes yinging was great, I did see it said the service was Hinsky to Westbury I was expecting The colas shed but when I saw the 70 omg it made my day, yeah CZcams always deletes comments for Sion too.

wow u saw lots of freight great video the redsheds really was hard and some of the freightliner, nice 158750 and IETS cool 70 too funny u stop videoing when the trains are still coming in. im looking forward to my didcot trip to see voaygers lots of freight fast IETS and the steam railway i think didcot is better then swindon
Yeah thanks, well I still can't believe that I saw 5 Freightliner locos and more Freightliner 66s than DB 66s, 158750 was amazing glad the driver let me in the cab I did ask to do the horn but he said no sorry, lol, yeah when it said a Colas loco was coming I was actually expecting a shed but when I saw that 70 omg it had already made my day, yeah I did remember u saying Voyager don't go through Swindon, I reckon they should though, well OK but I just prefer Swindon to Didcot because it's a nice place to go, the staff on the station are very friendly, it has a nice town centre and the reason I went was to go to the Steam museum which was great and I also had a go at doing the signalling and to drive a steam train, not a real one though lol, I was supprised Stagecoach buses still had Dennis Darts though I wish First did, I stopped videoing just to save battery as it would of been on 20 odd %, I'm glad I also saw 387
@MrMaguireLovesTrains yeah alot of freight u saw and kind driver of 158750 shame he said no. Lol colas dosnet have many 66s now. Idc about the town lol unless i was having food i have seen on Google maps it is like trostre tho in didcot which also has a steam railway so didcot is also nice just shame they don't go direct from Swansea anymore. That's interesting stagecoach has darts there. I did 2 videos yesterday in the station at station i saw a 158 twice and 150
@SionsTrainVideos yeah, but I was so glad I went in my first 158 cab and actually not TFW, I was taking photos of the train and I said hi to him and he was very kind, I asked him if I can take some photos on board the train he said yes and then asked if I wanted a photo in the cab and 158750 was my first 158 cab but my 3rd GWR cab
