The electrification of the South Wales Mainline from London to Cardiff has been delayed and is now scheduled to be completed sometime in 2019. Gantries for the overhead cables have been erected but the cabling has yet to be completed. The houses in the background are part of a recent development on what was once railway sidings. See http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1135819 for a photo of this location in 2008 and https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3032227 for a photo in 2012.
