769006 Llanbradach 17 June 2022

769006 approaches Llanbradach station on 17 June 2022 with the 2P71 15:28 Ystrad Mynach to Penarth Transport for Wales service. At a time when petrol and diesel cars are being phased out in favour off electric vehicles, it seems an odd decision on the railways to convert some EMUs to DMUs! These former Class 319s have had a troubled conversion, with various issues, including overheating, leading to late delivery and unreliability.
