The North Wales Coast Express


On 4th July 1989, we took the InterCity Charter Train Unit’s special from Crewe along the scenic coastal route to Llandudno and Holyhead. We were hauled by Bulleid West Country Pacific Class No. 34027 Taw Valley.

On the return journey, someone got left behind, having become separated from his friends in the port. It was probably not the first or the last time on one of these trips that a passenger has found the local hospitality so much to their liking that they have quite forgotten what day it is. I’m sure he must have got home safely in the end.
