.. and … Aberthaw Low Level

Just for interest I thought I would check whether there was ever a connection between the Llantrisant - Cowbridge - Aberthaw branch and the Vale of Glamorgan line at Aberthaw - and there was. It was a north to east chord running around the edge of the Aberthaw Cement Works, which occupied the land to the north and east of the crossing point between the two lines. It appears first on the 1919 OS map, but by 1943 the branch had been lifted.
