Having spent some time in Caerphilly on Friday afternoon, it appears that there is much more interworking on the local services than there used to be - I photographed 34665 returning from Graig y Rhacca on an 'A' and it then went on to work a 'C' to Penyrheol. There were a mixture of R-SWO, R-FOO and 54 plate Darts on the A & B services - while 34678 was out on the 50.
