Vintage Trains' South Wales Explorer railtour featured diesel class 37 No. 37403 and class 20 No. 20189 locomotives in top-and-tail formation. The tour originated at Dorridge and visited Cardiff Central via reversal at Park Junction, an empty stock move to Pengam Sidings and then Cardiff to Cwmbargoed, returning to Ninian Park and then back to Dorridge. In this view, No. 37403 is in the lead on the approach to Park Junction near Newport.
