Devoid of any front end identification, 158847 arrives at Porthmadog station on 8 August 2002 with the 2G75 17:38 Pwllheli to Machynlleth Wales & Borders service. At Machynlleth this connects with the 1G75 19:30 Aberystwyth to Birmingham New Street. The state of the track (covered in litter and weds) would be a shock to a PW worker from the days of steam!
