Once again, the minority spoil things for the majority. Hopefully the society has the funds and manpower to rebuild it.

Although the Vale of Glamorgan Railway (which previosuly ran the line at Barry) has relocated to the Garw Valley Railway, the Barry Island site is now managed by Cambrian Transport who were awarded the lease of the line by the council. I think we can expect some developments on site later this year.
