The catenary wire has recently been installed around Birchgrove and Ty Glas stations, bringing the registration arms across the track for the first time. This is the view east from Caerphilly Road bridge; note the sig-zag of the wire, installed that way to even out wear on pantograph heads.

Track work took place around Birchgrove station on the single-line Coryton branch on Sunday, 2nd February 2020. The work saw the existing track cut into panels and moved aside; the spent ballast removed, a new membrane and fresh ballast laid; the track panels lifted back to re-use the sleepers with the rails then being discarded; new rails installed and clipped; and further ballast laid and the tracked tamped in time for Monday morning's first train. This is the view east from Caerphilly Road overbridge towards Ty Glas station. Old track panels lie on the trackside while a new ballast bed is prepared.
