There will be an opportunity to see the steam train The Pembroke Coast Express this month as it travels along the south Pembrokeshire line.

On Sunday, October 20, the train will head over the scenic branch line from Whitland through Tenby to Pembroke Dock.

The Pembroke Coast Express recalls the 1950s days of named steam trains on the former Western Region of British Railways. The train ran from London Paddington through South Wales to the Pembroke Coast.

On a trip organised by The Railway Touring Company, The Pembroke Coast Express, hauled by Black 5 class locomotive No.44871. will leave Bristol Temple Meads soon after 8am to head for West Wales.

The train will be diesel-hauled once it leaves Carmarthen for Whitland, where it will join the scenic branch line to Pembroke Dock, before passing through Kilgetty and Saundersfoot before stopping at Tenby at around 2.40pm to set down passengers to spend time at the seaside resort, before going onto Pembroke Dock.

Later, it will leave Pembroke Dock hauled by a steam locomotive and return to Tenby to pick up passengers who left the train there, before continuing back to Whitland where it will join the main line from Fishguard Harbour.
