Bit off topic,but a bit about the Severn Bridge.(Click on twice to read)
Hi Dean,
Thanks very much for sharing the seven bridge article.Its amazing how traffic volumes have increased over the years.These days there are plenty of times that both bridges canât cope,especially if thereâs a big event on in Cardiff.
I thought it was an intresting article Andrew.

Hi all,
Thank you Dean for kindly sharing more South Wales transport history.I found this shot earlier today,on an ASTRAN forum on Facebook.Two of J&M are in the background, In the days of German transit permits being scarce,Theyve caught âThe Rattlerâ From Cologne to Munich.Id say thatâs the late Sid Evans in STG 993M pulling a Rentco tilt and behind is Bob Pearce in ODW 118R with a J&M tilt.
Hi all,
Around 50 years difference between these two,Porthcawl carnival images.I can be seen in the left hand side of both cabsâŚ
