Surviving Railway Infrastructure in Cardiff area?

[Robinson102]

Wondering if people might be able to advise/help to create a list of what known surviving railway (or tramway) infrastructure & architecture there may be, within the Cardiff 'city' area?


Central/General station, and the original Cardiff Bay station, are the initial things that come to mind. I have been told there is a goods shed (or something along these lines) next to the car park to the South side of Central station - however I have not yet seen this myself.

Ordnance Survey maps are always a good starting point. Look online for apps where you can compare old maps and current maps side by side. "Where's the Path" is one app that springs to mind.

NLS Maps is quite good even for maps outside of Scotland. Here's a good example of their overlaid maps.

That looks like a great site. I can clearly see the railways that used to run along the roads around Llanelli, and which I've referred to here numerous times!

Sorry to go a bit off topic
