Cathays Cemetery platform
What is believed to be the former platform for Cathays Cemetery is seen from a passing train. Though the precise location of the platform is not clear from sources in which it is mentioned, the proxity to the cemetery and matching description of a short platform on the up line of the Rhymney Railway with a gentle slope to assist the onward movement of coffins certainly accord.

Class 37 in Roath
Class 37 No. 37421 and No. 37025 top-and-tail a Cardiff Canton to Rhymney crew training run through the Cardiff suburb on Roath; the train is seen crossing Fairoak Road bridge.
Of interest is the trackside structure in the bottom-left of the picture. Some texts about the history of Cardiff talk about the existence of a short platform used for Cathays cemetery. It is described as having existed only on the up side of the line, and having a sloped platform to assist the carriage of coffins from the railway towards the nearby cemetery. Is this it?
