769421 Caerphilly 17 June 2022

769421 leaves Caerphilly station on 17 June 2022 with the 2P49 12:28 Ystrad Mynach to Penarth Transport for Wales service. Years ago many stations used to compete for best kept station prizes, with elaborate flower displays and planted borders on many stations. This is Network Rail's modern equivalent! Admittedly with today's shorter trains this end of the platform is no longer used, but the fact that these plants are able to flourish through the concrete and tarmac is just another example of Network Rail's lack of maintenance.
