Nocturnal Workings at Carmarthen 10/08/2017

This footage was captured on a still evening at Carmarthen in West Wales on the 10th August 2017. Whilst waiting for the arrival of the Hitachi Class 800's first ever visit to this County Town.
We see various Diesel units and a HST arriving and departing in falling light, producing some interesting images.

It's those everyday mundane shots, that are not normally recorded, that will be missed in years to come. Memories to cherish Bob.

[@robmasterman]

My thoughts exactly Mike, I've always capture the mundane shots, and over the years, it's them that are treasured for their rarity value...Bob

[@bobnweaver]

Some very nice images in the dark there Bob and superb quality with the HST livery in particular standing out. Regards, Jeff.

[@robmasterman]

Thanks Jeff, the old camera does a splendid job in those low light conditions Regards....Bob

[@howarth004]

The footage came out good Bob with the falling light ...these 920 panasonic's take some beating ...nice one ...Dave

[@robmasterman]

Thanks Dave, the conditions have to be right, but the results are quite special, the X920 does a brilliant job as always....Bob

Thanks Steve, it was very busy with just about every destination serviced by Carmarthen using it during the short time I was there. The camera being the star as always....Best wishes from Welsh Wales....Bob

[@hemerdonbank]

Excellent quality in low light, Bob. Plenty going on to keep you occupied by the looks of it. Keith.

[@robmasterman]

The camera does so well in low light Keith, I wish I could do more of it...hopefully, these scenes will become precious in years to come....Regards...Bob

[@EMuksteam]

Brilliant video Bob of all the activities going on in Carmarthen . Kept you busy while waiting for the 800 . Best wishes C&A

[@robmasterman]

Thanks both, that just before dark lighting produces some wonderful images, would be even better with more interesting stock...Regards...Biob

[@TheWesternExplorer]

Interesting video of service trains at Carmarthen Bob. Cheers, Dave.

[@robmasterman]

Thanks Dave, it wasn't for the content, I did this one, but for the lovely lighting whist waiting for the IEP to arrive...Regards...Bob

I was there on Friday picking up my Mother-in-Law spending New Year with us

[@robmasterman]

I hope she enjoys her stay with you ...Happy New Year to you and your Family....Bob

[@stevehallam0850]

Interesting and surprisingly busy!

[@robmasterman]

Thanks Steve, all this was captured between 20.30 and 21.45, and there was certainly a great deal of movement at this Western outpost...Bob

[@acw71000]

A pleasant way to pass the evening Bob, nice conditions for filming

[@robmasterman]

Just waiting for the star of the evening to arrive Austin, sad I know, but this is what we have down here most of the time...Bob

[@acw71000]

Oh no, not sad Bob, as one of your other viewers mentioned these shots of the 'everyday workings' build up to a valuable archive for future generations to view

[@AndreiTupolev]

Surprisingly busy there of an evening. The Class 175s are quite nice; pity they never built more of them.

[@robmasterman]

It was indeed, and kept me occupied until the Big Event of the evening, The 175 like many new designs had their teething troubles, but they've been a great asset to the services they are used on. Unfortunately we may lose them if Arriva Trains Wales lose it's Franchise, and the older Class 158's will replace them...Bob

[@cuzinitr]

You've always had a talent for taking low light videos Bob, well done my friend!

[@robmasterman]

Thanks Rich, sorry for the delay in replying, but I missed your comment....Bob

[@alexishamer6427]

This happened on Monday 10th July 2017 nearly 6 previous years ago in 2023. The train 🚊 company is called Arriva Trains 🚊 Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 until Sunday 14th October 2018 renamed Transport For Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿. Class 43s are wearing the First Great Western Railway 🚃 livery, now GWR livery where no longer for intercity services. Class 43s are staying with Great Western Railway until around Sunday 10th December 2023 at the latest. 😄

[@robmasterman]

Thanks very much Alix for your detailed and informative response.

[@owen2243]

Nice video

[@robmasterman]

Thanks MOGZ....Bob

[@jjyt5708]

150230. The train that my family has worked on

[@robmasterman]

How wonderful, and thanks for sharing that.

[@rsdworker]

i find odd that HST shows FGW but its GWR now i wonder they need put new livery in it

[@robmasterman]

It will be done when it next goes through works Andrew, you currently have mixed rakes until the process is complete.....Bob
