One of several subways connecting footpaths under a major road junction at Gabalfa, to the north of Cardiff city centre.

Looking along North Road towards the northern end of the Gabalfa Flyover, part of the Gabalfa Interchange. The building of the Gabalfa Interchange in the late 1960s caused many changes in the area. Excavations were needed to form the new road linking Western Avenue and Eastern Avenue. Two bridges were built, as part of a roundabout controlling the traffic flow along five roads. A flyover provided a route carrying vehicles directly towards the city centre. More than 100 houses and other buildings were demolished, among them the local library and the Regal dance hall. The most notable loss was St Mark the Evangelist church and vicarage. A final service was held in April 1968, whereupon worshippers moved to the new church http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1462652 nearby in North Road.

A ramp and stairs lead down from the west side of North Road to an underpass below this artery from the city centre. A few metres to the north of this point,(behind the camera) North Road splits into Caerphilly Road and Merthyr Road. On the left, a Cardiff Bus single-decker is on route 24 from the central bus station to Llandaff North via Whitchurch.

Viewed from the western end of Whitchurch Road. St Mark's Avenue is a cul-de-sac ending at the boundary wall of Eastern Avenue (A48), close to the Gabalfa Interchange.

Several bus services stop here, including the X30 service operated by Newport Bus. Daily except Sundays, this service operates at 20 minute intervals from Newport bus station to Cardiff bus station, via the M4 motorway and Gabalfa, returning by the same route. Scheduled journey time from bus station to bus station is 35 minutes. The time allowed for Gabalfa to Cardiff bus station is 15 minutes. First and last departures from Newport are 7am and 6pm, and 7.45am and 6.45 pm from Cardiff. This location is a timing stop for the X30 service, which means that the bus will stop here if the time taken from Cardiff bus station is less than 15 minutes. This ensures that, for example, the 8.15 departure from Cardiff bus station does not leave here before 8.30.
