Arriva Trains Wales

171 built between 1989 and 1992, which means they're not the youngest of fleets out there, but compared to the rest of the class, TFW's Cambrian fleet had a trick up their sleeves.

In 2010, they'd been modified to fit ETCS equipment, while Arriva Trains Wales still had that franchise.

One Sierra 71 with 158824 was the 1909 McCuntleth to Shrewsbury service, and one Juliet 25 was the 1831 Shrewsbury to Aberystwyth, and that was 158841.

Both trains were driven by competent drivers who'd passed out on the Cambrian lines for some time, and each also carried a guard.
