A steam special passes through a cloudy Pontypool Road station behind castle loco 5080 heading for Newport. The sidings in the foreground are looking rather rusty. Pontypool Road was once a large station with a locomotive depot. Nowadays it's just a small station on the Newport to Shrewsbury railway line.
