Railtours Track Record

摘要

DB CARGO operated a special train on October 10 to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Barmouth Bridge. A pair of Network Rail Class 97/3 diesels hauled a train of Riviera Trains Mk1s from Shrewsbury to Pwllheli, operating in collaboration with Arriva Trains Wales and Network Rail. The Grade ll-listed timber bridge is a vital link in the Dovey Junction to Pwllheli Cambrian Coast route, and is a remarkable survivor, having endured two world wars, a brush with a live naval mine in 1946, and an attack of marine wood worm in the 1980s.
