Ticked off Hubberts Bridge and Swineshead today, involving a walk from Boston to Hubberts Bridge. Almost managing to avoid the rain! Also sampled a refurbished XC 170, for the first time, on the way home - very impressed. Great to see @35mmags on my trip today too!

An enjoyable day in the Valleys, visiting the Treherbert and Aberdare branches post Metro infrastructure upgrades, and enjoying some of the older traction too #Flirt #Sprinter #Valleys
