Three railway lines, from Brecon, Hereford and Merthyr, met in a triangular junction in this quiet and beautiful countryside. When this photograph was taken all passenger services had ceased and there was but the odd goods train between Merthyr and Brecon on the fiercely-graded line via Torpantau. The refreshment room (see smoke from chimney) was still open and it was possible to get a pint and a snack! Just beyond the station is the portal of the tunnel originally built for the horse-drawn Hay Railway.
