Thought the maximum time in the Pool was 2 years? Due to assessments running out?! Or have you been waiting 4 years to get onto the railway?
Well done nonetheless!
Nope! I believe the last train from Onllwyn was 14/06/22. Nant Helen, where the coal came from, was shut in 2021 so the stockpiled was obviously being removed between 2021 and the final train.
Hi Nick, shame to hear people are getting grief for just taking photos. Didn’t get stopped but had some odd looks and saw some whispering but it is what it is. I was waiting for one of them to say something but they were staring like hawks as I was walking around. Did see quite a bit of security...
Cheers @59CosG95 ! Thought I'd try showcase most of the stations! Wires do not run through Dinas Rhondda, Llwynypia or Tonypandy either. Ton-Pentre is mainly complete. They have gated off the North end of the platform. Llwynypia has all new Metro branded Lampposts, stop markers, PIS screens...
I overheard some locals earlier who were saying how impressive all the stations are etc. Dinas Rhondda is completely revamped and unrecognisable from its former self!
