This'll be the train that I was waiting for: the 4O51 10.02 Cardiff Wentloog to Southampton Maritime Freightliner service. Hauled by one of Freightliner's twelve Class 57 converts from a Class 47 - no. 57008 "Freightliner Explorer". The train looks fairly empty though, although some containers were on the rest of the train out of view. The "body snatcher" crossed the River Usk bridge at 10.32.
