Sorry but this is not Wood Road, it's much further back down and cannot be seen on this photo. It is Rickards Street |

| Pontypridd (Graig) station. Opened by the Barry Railway in March 1896, the station closed to passngers in July 1930. The line through it closed between Treforest Junction and Hafod Junction in 1952. The station site is now that of Pontypridd Infirmary. |

Strictly speaking only part of the hospital car park occupies former station site. The station building stood on the opposite side of Albert Road, where the rather forbidding BT building is now. Albert Road bridge crossed the station half way along the platforms, a tiny fragment of one of the platform ramps may still be visible inside the tunnel portal, |

| Pontypridd Station. Opened in October 1840 as a single platform. After several rebuilds, the Taff Vale Rly. rebuilt it into its pictured form in 1907, raising the entire alignment by 5 feet. By completion in 191o, the island platform you see was the longest in Europe at the time, with departures on average every 30 seconds! |

A bit misleading. A passenger train every 30 seconds ? With all the loaded coal trains moving down and empties up, plus passenger trains shuttling up and down there will have been frequent train movements, but if the average was every 30 secs that means that sometimes they were even more frequent than that. With manual signalling too. Those signalmen must have been a breed of supermen ! |
