I walked past Lapworth a couple of days ago and took a photo of where the machine previously stood. I haven’t posted photos to this website before so apologies if it’s not the right way up!

Is this jet fuel pollution dropping from the sky or is it something else, e.g. seepage from fuel storage tanks?

Someone did on page 1

Wasn't aware of either of these websites until this thread and spent a couple of enjoyable hours following specific trains around the network. Many thanks to all those responsible.

Can't add anything to the technical discussion, but I'd like to say how much I like the photograph.

Radyr to Cardiff Central via Danescourt 4m59ch Radyr to Cardiff Central via Llandaff 4m79ch. Difference 20 chains

Newtown

I think it was under the adjacent Bull Ring centre, whether that makes it higher or lower than New St platform level I really can't remember. It shared the same dark and gloomy atmosphere though.

I don't usually have a lot to pack away, just a book or laptop which take a couple of seconds so I tend to wait until the train is in the station - unless I'm in a hurry and want to be at the front of the queue

I've enjoyed the two viewed so far - the ones about Railway Time and Class. I haven't learnt a huge amount, but as I know a bit about railway history (like many on this forum) and have watched numerous other tv programmes about railways, perhaps that isn't a surprise. I watched Liz McIvor's...

Yes, thanks, that makes sense. I assume that you do something in the app to activate the ticket and that timestamps it. No need to answer that, I'll go and read some more about this type of ticket

I don't think I've bought an mticket, is this a ticket loaded on your mobile phone? Why can't you biy a ticket which is valid for the journey you have already started - is it only for Advance tickets?

Thanks. I'll make sure I don't head that way after dark

Ah now I see! I think the SWALEC would have to be expanded quite a bit for crowd controls to be necessary at Cathays. Do they even have controls at Central for SWALEC (and other stadia) events or just those at the Millennium? - which is where this thread started I believe.

That post of mine still seems to exist. #45 I think. I just wasn't sure what you were saying about it.

Sorry, I don't quite understand the point you're making --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Does that take longer than crossing the roads from Cardiff Central? I wouldn't have thought there's much in it either way. Why do they close the footbridge at certain times of the day...

Cathays is slightly closer but admitttedly of limited use for the OP if coming from Swansea

yes, only 200m from the border. In fact the next station in the Birmingham direction (Whitlock's End) is even closer to the county border, this time on the West Midlands side of it - the border runs along the edge of the Northbound platform. Interesting site, I have a feeling I'll be...

OS 1:25K and 1:50K DO show county boundaries On 1:25K it's a line made up of dots and long dashes. It's the same on 1:50K maps but it shares this symbol with unitary authorities, metropolitan districts etc. Nevertheless it's much easier to see them on the 1:50K than the more detailed 1:25K...

I believe the West Midlands/Warwickshire county boundary cuts across both platforms at Earlswood station
