Nope. I can't work it out, completely lost in Wales yet again. I really do need a better map.

Glyntaff Halt

We're on the Pontypridd, Caerphilly and Newport Railway at the moment

 

[DerekC]

Glyntaff (1st station)

I know this one is going to be controversial, but it is shown very clearly on the 1901 1:2500 OS Map, with platforms each side of the line and a small building on each platform. It was just east of the bridge over the River Taff. The same map shows "Halt" at the Glyntaff Road overbridge, a few hundred metres further east. By 1919 the platforms had disappeared and been replaced by sidings. Anyway, one for the ever-growing list of sites worth further investigation.

I believe it is same station isn't it, just renamed?

Pandy (1841 - 1886)

I believe (Glyntaff) is same station isn't it, just renamed?

That's what Wikipedia says, but the map suggests they were on different sites.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Pandy (1841 - 1886)

I think that you will find that the site of that station is occupied by the open station site of Dinas Rhondda.

 

[Whistler40145]

Gyfeillon Platform?

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Hafod (1st site.....1861-1892)

This was a considerable distance away from the currently open station now called Trehafod
