Syphon Street, Porth
Viewed from an entrance to Porth railway station looking towards the corner of Edward Street. The houses face the railway perimeter fence.
According to one online source, this is the only Syphon Street in the UK. Google Earth agrees. The only other Syphon Street in the world, it seems, is in Shreveport, Louisiana in the USA.

Porth Park & Ride plaque, Porth railway station
The plaque at the Syphon Street entrance http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5565878 to the station records the official opening of Porth Park & Ride on September 22nd 2016. The Rhondda Cynon Taf council website states
"The aim of the scheme was to attract car users from the wide surrounding catchment and enable them to use the train for the main part of their journey to their final destination, particularly avoiding the congested routes, such as the A4054 into Pontypridd and the A470 into Cardiff. The facility has already made a big difference to commuters, with lots of positive feedback received.
The new facility has improved the area's transport infrastructure, by encouraging more people to use public transport, which will in turn deliver more sustainable access to jobs and services."
