47851 passes Briton Ferry on 15 April 1991 with the 1V54 11:44 York to Swansea InterCity service. This is the site of Briton Ferry station, which closed in 1864. However, since this picture was taken, a new station has been opened on the site, completely changing this view, as the staggered platforms with their long sloping footbridges to the road have filled in the waste ground seen here.
