Today at Swindon Station in Wiltshire I see many trains passing in and out passenger and freight, after going to the Swindon Steam Museum yesterday (15/8/24) I had only seen a couple of trains in Swindon, I spent over 5 hours on Swindon Station and it was great, please note that some trains were not recorded due to my battery going down more than expected.
Today at Swindon the trains I see are:

Freightliner: I had seen about 5 Freightliner Sheds (class 66s). There were 3 sheds pulling aggregates and 2 sheds pulling containers to and from Wentloog.
66952 was the first Freightliner shed I saw which was hauling a container train going from Wentloog to somewhere 506
66571
66620
66613 were also other Freightliner Sheds included in this video

GWR: I see many class 800s working towards London Paddington, Cheltenham Spa, Bristol Temple Meads, Swansea, Cardiff Central, Carmarthen. Services going from Cheltenham Spa to London Paddington were delayed and even cancelled due to signalling problems on that line. Services from Swansea & Carmarthen were running very smoothly I didn't hear much Swansea and Carmarthen services on the announcements but there were. Services to and from Cardiff Central were mostly good they were worked by IETs and the 387s, although one service the 15:10 to Cardiff Central had been cancelled due to signalling problems, which got me wondering if my train home would be cancelled but it wasn't thankfully. Services to and from Bristol Temple Meads were running very well and I reckon I heard most of the trains going to Bristol Temple Meads on the announcements, it's was unusual for me to hear Phil Sayer and the other woman that do the announcements as in Wales we have Ruth And Glyn, Ruth does the English version and Glyn does the Welsh version. I had seen a class 158 (158750 working back and forth Westbury all day which I was thankfully allowed in the cab when I was taking photos inside the train the driver said I could go in the cab very nice of him, I did ask if I could do the horn but he said no sorry, but that's OK.

Colas Rail: today the Colas rail trains I see are D73920 which is a tamper which started its journey at Reading Triangle Sidings and was very very late for some reason, I then get a huge surprise as the Hinsky Sdgs to Westbury was done by a class 70!! I was actually expecting a Colas shed but wow the 70 made my day, it had to wait in the loop for passenger and a freight train to pass and then it went.
There was supposed to be a ECS class 165 which my guess was a Chiltern 165 as it was from Wembley but it didn't run unfortunately.

DB Cargo UK: today the DB Sheds I see is 66168 working the 'Binliner' as its nicknamed because it's the train that carries bins, it wafted through Swindon but it wasn't that bad to be honest, I wonder if it was worse on platform 4 but I don't know, 66129 then worked a Tilbury to Trostre service which I've seen sheds working the service a few times. 66654 was working a very familiar service as it was 6B33 Theale Puma to Robeston Sdgs.

Bristol Parkway: CrossCountry: when my train arrived at Bristol Parkway I looked out the window and my jaw dropped, I finally saw a Voyager and it was a class 221 (221007) which meant it was a Super Voyager which meant it could tilt, these were formally with Virgin Trains Cross-country and you can still see some old Virgin Trains colours on it on the roof and on the front it had a plague with the Virgin logo which surprisingly the mark from the plaque is still there to this day.

I hope you enjoyed this video today and thanks for watching
