On a gloomy 15 April 1997, 37887 Castell Caerffili / Caerphilly Castle & 37894 wait in the up loop at Wantage Road with the 6Z49 05:00 Cardiff Tidal to Purfleet steel train. This was the site of Wantage Road station and although some of the up platform was removed when these relief lines were reinstated in the early 1990s, the remains of the former down platform can still be seen on the extreme left of the picture.
