Martin, I agree - was just pointing out the problems in the area. South Wales isn't exactly bursting with employment opportunities after the closure of most of the heavy industries. Not sure about the coal mines being worked out though - many of them still have good coal reserves according to recent Welsh Assembly reports, and I thought it was more a case of being able to import coal more cheaply than it can be mined here (big mistake - the eastern European coal is nothing like as good as proper Welsh steam coal in my experience). I'd not read about the loco anywhere else either - then again, the person I heard this from is usually pretty reliable.
