DRS 37608 races through Pilning station with the 1Z94 15:00 Swansea to Derby Network Rail New Measurement Train on 8 September 2006. Classmate 37611 is on the rear. An hour previously I had witnessed a solitary passenger alight from the only down train booked to stop at this station. To say this station is little used is an understatement, and there are persistent rumours of its closure. A far cry from steam days when you could load your car onto a train here to travel to Wales via the tunnel long before the opening of the road bridge. In fact, the end loading bay is still in existence, and I used it as a car park on this occasion!
