    The Valley Lines are a network of routes which converge at Cardiff Central, serving towns such as Penarth, Barry, Caerphilly, Radyr, Merthyr Tydfil, Rhymney, Aberdare, Coryton, Ebbw Vale and Treherbert. The look of the lines and services operated over them have changed throughout the years, with most of the collieries these lines once served having closed in the last 40 years, although the colliery at Cwmbargoed is still open and still has a well used rail connection. The stock I propose to include is listed below based on what operator runs them

    CrossCountry
    • Class 170/1 with Air Dam
    DB Schenker
    • Class 66/0 with HAA Wagons for Cwmbargoed Colliery - Margam/ Earles Sidings/Port Talbot Steel Works
    Great Western Railway
    • Class 800 ‘IET’ (9car and 5car sets)
    Transport for Wales Rail
    • Class 150/2 in TfW livery and Ex-ATW livery
    • Class 143 in Ex-ATW livery
    • Class 153/3 and /9 in TfW livery
    • Class 170/2 in TfW livery
    • Class 175/0 and /1 in TfW livery and Ex-ATW livery

    If you are having trains in TfW livery then there would not be any HAA Coal Wagons on the colliery runs

    You missed off the Freightliner 66/5 and trains that pass thru Cardiff Central.
