Nantgarw (High Level) Halt?

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Remember the direction that we are taking, which is from the Newport area to the Pontypool area on this particular leg, as per the journey preamble.

Newport Dock Street

 

[DerekC]

I think we could have avoided Dock Street via the west to north curve after Courtybella. However using the freight connection (apparently used by passenger services for one day in 1927) we arrive at:

Newport Mill Street.
