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, the 37 is on the rear of the return working down the Taff Bargoed Valley.
