Newport
Somebody told me there wasn't much freight in South Wales any more. They were wrong. 66090 hauls empty steel coil wagons off the River Usk bridge and through Newport station on 20th June. The new brickwork on the right is part of the conversion of the old station booking hall into a council information centre. The Upper Crust cafe on the left survives, somewhat improbably, adjacent to the walled-up steps to the old footbridge, at the opposite end of the station to all of the other passenger facilities.
