A decaying scene at Tondu taken from the footbridge. The

pair of tracks are heading in a westerly direction to become a single track in the trees is the distance. This line links Tondu with Margam and was once a busy line carrying coal trains out from the western valleys. It was also a useful diversionary route when the mainline was closed but trains needed to reverse out of view behind me just past Tondu signal box. Never say never, but I suspect that this line will not carry trains again even though its is connected at both ends and is fully signalled. However, there will need to be a little vegetation clearance!
