Ok. So here's a big one. Been off work for two weeks to just chill / travel around a bit. After last year when I had the Explore North Wales rover ticket, I wanted to do similar with South Wales. So last weekend I had a long weekend doing just that.
Started in Stone, of all places, after a friends wedding up there on the Wednesday evening. So:

Thursday 2nd June:
LM 350120 - 12:36 Stone to Stafford
AM 3747 - 5 - 13:15 Stafford station to Newport (lovely Pulsar thrash along the main road there)
AM 3697 - 519 - 14:04 Newport to Shrewsbury
Minsterley Motors - YJ65 EVV (i think) - 435 - 15:30 Shrewsbury to Ludlow
AM 2500 - 740 - 17:50 Ludlow to Knighton (genuinely didnt expect a Shrewsbury depot bus to turn up, but then again being so far out in the sticks not sure what I was expecting)

Friday 3rd June: (first day of rover ticket) (woke up nice and early to go photo the morning passing of two trains and ride the one out to Knucklas just for a refreshing morning's walk back along the river)
ATW 153312 - 06:56 Knighton to Knucklas
ATW 150242 - 09:23 Knighton to Craven Arms
ATW 153362 - 10:37 Craven Arms to Llanwrtyd Wells - pub lunch and another walk up to Sugar Loaf to see the view
ATW 153320 - 16:29 Sugar Loaf (what a lonely halt) to Swansea

Saturday 4th June: (woke up hungover with my friend, she was celebrating end of uni exams, so later start than hoped but still did well for a days travelling)
GWR 43171+43030 - 10:28 Swansea to Bridgend
ATW 158840 - 11:19 Bridgend to Fishguard Harbour (what remians of the boat service, avoiding Swansea and Carmarthen en route to make sure it isn't useful for passengers)
ATW 158840 - 13:29 Fishguard Harbour to Fishguard and Goodwick
Richards Brothers YJ06 YRY - 413 - 13:58 Fishguard and Goodwick station to St Davids - quick mooch around Britains smallest city
Richards Brothers YJ55 BKN - 411 - 15:15 St Davids to Haverfordwest - lovely route woulkd recommend to anyone, especially for the thrash on a Tempo
ATW 175003 - 16:26 Haverfordwest to Milford Haven
Silcox CU05 DME - 356 - 17:30 Milford Haven - Pembroke - Monkton
Silcox CU05 DME - 357 - 18:30 Monkton - Pembroke Dock
ATW 150262 - 19:09 Pembroke Dock to Swansea (attached to 150280 at Carmarthen - which I mobved to to get away from a Hen party)

Sunday 5th June: towards home, obviously not the direct route
First Cymru 69303 - X13 - 10:10 Swansea to Ammanford
ATW 150208 - 11:56 Ammanford to Llandrindod Wells - pub lunch
Stagecoach YJ62 FBZ - T4 - 15:47 Llandrindon Wells to Merthyr Tydfil
- run across a desolate town centre, didn't want to wait two hours here for the next train -
ATW 150256 - 17:38 Merthyr Tydfil to Cardiff Central
XC 170xxx/170xxx (didn't see when I got on, forgot to check when I got off) - 18:45 Cardiff Central to Birmingham New Street
NXWM 4868 - 51 - 21:17 Bull Street to Scott Arms

...I'll do the other day in a separate post

[Kevin]

... I had one more day's worth of rail travel to use on my Rover ticket, so after a few days at home and around Brum I went out again:

Weds 8th June
NXWM 4865 - 51 - 05:55 Scott Arms to city
LM 170510 - 06:59 New Street to Hereford - Wetherspoons breakfast
ATW 175008 - 09:33 Hereford to Port Talbot Parkway
First Cyrmu 63094 - X3 - 11:30 Port Talbot to Maesteg
ATW 158831 - 12:17 Maesteg to Bridgend - late, so I missed the train I was aiming for to Barry, so got back on board...
ATW 158831 - 12:40 Bridgend to Pontyclun
Stagecoach South Wales 25211 - 122 - 13:13 Pontyclun to Tontypandy
ATW 150241 - 14:21 Tontypandy to Ystrad Rhondda

ATW 150250 - 16:32 Bargoed to Ystrad Mynach
ATW 142075/143623 - 16:49 Ystrad Mynach to Hengoed
ATW 142073 - 16:54 Hengoed to Cardiff Queen Street
ATW 150217 - 17:30 Queen Street to Radyr (that was fun - Valley Lines at the height of rush hour)
ATW 143625 - 18:04 Radyr to Cardiff Queen Street (via city line)
ATW 153303 - 18:48 Queen Street to Cardiff Bay
Cardiff Bus "Baycar" 604 - 18:55 Cardiff Bay station to Cardiff Central (woo bendibus!!)
ATW 158xxx - 19:34 Cardiff Central to Hereford
LM 170515 - 21:29 Hereford to Birmingham New Street
NXWM 4860 - 51 - 23:17 Bull Street to Scott Arms

....and to bed... so tiring but worth it, can now say over the years I've done majority of rail lines in Wales, just another trip should do it :D
