Opened in 1850 as 'Llantrissant for Cowbridge' by the South Wales Railway on the line from Cardiff to Swansea, this station closed in 1964. It was rebuilt and reopened as Pontyclun in September 1992. View north west towards Llanharan and Swansea. The view is almost unrecognisable from the same position 52 years earlier - see Image] although the same white building and power pylon can (just) be seen in both.
