37521 Llanwrda 27 May 1996

37521 approaches Llanwrda station, on the Central Wales Line with the very lightly loaded diverted 6Z92 05:40 Llanwern to Margam (via Craven Arms) steel coils on 27 May 1996. Despite the miniscule load, it was obviously felt worthwhile to run this train via such a massive detour. The short direct route was closed for Bank Holiday engineering works. Llanwrda had a passing loop until 1965, but since then all trains use the former northbound platform. This picture is taken from the disused former southbound platform.
