Getting into deep water here -- Pontllanfraith ?

Unfortunately, you appear to have suddenly moved away from Fleur de Lis Platform on the Brecon and Merthyr Railway (as if by magic) to the line of the Newport, Abergavenny and Hereford Railway.

We are continuing down the line of the Brecon and Merthyr Railway from that last named station, where there are still another closed stations to be named.

Sorry, not so. Whilst we will eventually visit the 1st station site of that named station, it will not be until we are on the final line on this journey.

We still remain on the line of the Brecon and Merthyr Railway, with still two closed stations remaining to be named after the last valid posting of Church Road.

I have just returned home to find that this journey has now been completed. There were the usual surprises on the last leg of this journey, with Rogerstone (1st site) being mentioned in error on the previous leg, but not on this one, Tydee is the currently open station site of Rogerstone and Victoria (Blaenau Gwent) now sees a new life as the open station of Ebbw Vale Parkway.
