This was the last year that the rats worked the holiday traffic on a regular basis over the cambrian route. These services were always very popular with both railway photographers and haulage fans alike. If you can add any details or spot any errors, please Contact us and we'll update asap.
The following year 1985 , these trains went over to class 37 haulage.
