Cwmbran

An unidentified Cardiff-bound 47 enjoying the pool of light around the then-recently-opened new Cwmbran station (the earlier Cwmbran station being South-West of here, near Oakfield, on the link from this line to the Eastern Valley route to Blaenavon and Brynmawr). This station was built slightly South of the earlier Pontnewydd station - not to be confused with Upper Pontnewydd or Pontnewynydd, both on the Eastern Valley line.
