    Reported on Facebook as another final run for 46100, with D213 as tail end Charlie. A wet and windy Holyhead on a Monday afternoon, lovely!

    Why send Braunton all the way to Holyhead? 46100 Royal Scot far better for a last run, at least it will be on former LMS rails

    sm_130125_46100_Bagillt.jpg sm_130125_46100_Conwy.jpg I wondered what the occasion was.

    46100 passing the tidal pool at Bagillt and breaching the town walls at Conwy.

    RTT shows the working from Holyhead to Valley and back to turn the loco as "Light Locomotive", implying not even a support coach. One wonders what Mr H and his associates will have found to entertain them for three hours in Holyhead.

    associates in this case maybe a tad unfair as its LSL staff trip out. I have a number of good friends who work for LSL on it

    There are specific rules about propelling anything except a tender!

    I didn't mean to pass any judgement about the passengers; only to wonder how they might spend three hours in Holyhead.
    I mentioned that only to confirm that all the passengers would have been left in Holyhead.

    Well said. Strewth, Holyhead is a terrible place. It's a ferry port, a rail terminus, and nothing else.

    If it is indeed as bad as reputed, should we not pity the folk who actually live there?

    Holyhead itself is pretty dire, but Anglesey (Ynys Mon!) itself is beautiful. Best thing to do when you arrive in Holyhead is get a taxi out of there! South Stack lighthouse isn't far and is spectacular, but even that isn't a very good option for a grey January afternoon..
