Making it's Class deut on the Central Wales Line, 55022 "Royal Scots Grey" roars past Heyope on the climb to Llangynllo summit with Pathfinder Tour's Heart of Wales Explorer (08.00 Cardiff - Llandrindod Wells) on 29th March 2008. The estimated speed was in the region of 40 mph at this point - an impressive performance and the heaviest train I have observed on this line hauled by a single loco.

Hellfire thrash from 37417 and 37 401 as they pass Heyope on the 4 mile at 1 in 60 climb to Llangynllo summit with the 1Z70 05.15 Blackburn - Cardiff via the Central Wales Line (The Heart of Wales Explorer) on 12 April 2008.

37417 and 37401 climb the last few yards to Suagr Loaf Summit with the 1Z70 05.15 Blackburn - Cardiff via the Central Wales line (The Heart of Wales Explorer) on 12 April 2008.

On 19th July 2008 the Central Wales weather was on fine form (full dull) for 55022's second visit. This time it was rostered for the Mid Wales Borderer from Blackpool to Cardiff, out via the Central Wales Line and back via Hereford. After a short stopover at Llandrindod Wells, the train is pictured leaving Suagr Loaf tunnel en route to Cardiff.

37670 & 37401 storm out of Knighton(Powys) and begin the climb to Llangunllo summit with 1Z51 - 07.13 Mossley Hill - Cardiff via the Central Wales Line on 2nd May 2009.
