Whilst 37707 and 37886 "Sir Dyfed/County of Dyfed" wait, Class 56 no. 56054 "British Steel Llanwern" runs light engine to join the stock of Pathfinder Railtour's "Ayr Liner" railtour 1Z44 Ayr to Birmingham International. I was travelling on this train and was soon to enjoy 200 miles of uninterrupted "Grid" haulage on the West Coast Main Line!
