A class 150 (150240) unit crosses the junction on a service from Swansea to Crewe (via the Heart of Wales Line). Contrary to appearances, the main line to Aberystwyth is the weed covered track 2nd from right. The furthest right track is a head-shunt serving Coleham Permanent Way Depot. Just visible at top right is a now very rare item on the Cambrian Route - a semaphore signal, one of two (I believe) on the whole route. The remainder of the route is signalled by the 'in-cab' electronic ERTMS system.
