Two Firsts at Swansea railway station
When these First Great Western trains arrived at Swansea, this was the back of each train. Because Swansea is a dead-end station http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4383591 this will be the front of each train when they leave. In 2015, with power units and a cab at each end, this is straightforward. In the steam era, and when a diesel locomotive was used, a replacement locomotive from Landore depot had to be attached to this end of a train for the onward journey.

Bilingual name sign at Swansea railway station
The English name for the city is of Viking origin. The first element of Swansea is from a Norse name, probably Sweyn or Sveinn. The second element meant island or inlet. The earliest recorded form of the name is Sweynesse, which was used in the charter granting borough status in the 12th century.
The first recorded use of the Welsh name (now spelt Abertawe - mouth of the River Tawe) was not until several decades later, in Welsh poems.
