East on mineral line at Hirwaun
View eastward from the A4059 Hirwaun - Brecon road, towards Aberdare, Quaker's Yard and Pontypool Road: ex-GWR Neath - Pontypool Road line. Hirwaun station had been a little to the east: it lost its through passenger services and those on the branch to Merthyr from 15/6/64 and most freight from 1/3/65, but freight continued Hirwaun Pond - Glyn Neath until 6/11/67 and eastward traffic to Aberdare remains from Tower Colliery and the Rhigos Mountain opencast coal workings.

Railtour at Tower Colliery
UK Railtours brought a pair of class 66 locomotives, Nos. 66011 and 66116, in top-and-tail formation, to South Wales on their Valley Legend railtour. The tour visited the Ebbw Vale and Tower Colliery branches, and is seen here departing Tower; with the closure of this opencast site, this may well be the last passenger train to visit the Aberdare-Tower branch.
