And I bought a book all about the GWR from Bridgend to Swansea for my dad on Father's Day...
It's the only book I've ever found that has a partial picture of Platform 3 on Neath General Station.
That's the platform that the train to Aberavon used to leave from when I was a kid with my bucket & spade.
It ran along the Rhondda and Swansea Bay track through the Sandfields estate then crossed the A48 in Port Talbot to go all the way to the Rhondda via the Afan Valley.

I've successfully managed to not look at any cars again this weekend, though it was a close run thing...
I suspect I'll be going to work on the train soon, coz the Passat is almost a basket case.Comment

As I was standing on Cheltenham station at some ungodly hour of the morning, the automated voice kicked in, stating that "The next train to arrive at Platform 1 is to..." followed by a long list of names that took in every place on the South Wales coast that still has a railway station.
Said automated voice then continued, informing us that "passengers for {long list of places on the South Wales coast that still have a railway station} should travel in the front carriage", as these stations had short platforms.
By the time this automated announcement was over, it was time for it to kick off again, but this time with the prefix of "The train now approaching Platform 1 is to..." followed by all of the above, including the important fact that "passengers for {long list of places on the South Wales coast that still have a railway station} should travel in the front carriage".
Said train then arrived.
It only had one carriage.
