Cardiff (Queen Street) station, 02/75. On the right is BR (Derby) Suburban 3-car dmu (Class 116) set No.C327 on a Cardiff (Bute Road) - Coryton service. A station on this site was built by the Taff Vale Railway in 1840 and replaced in 1887, with rebuildings taking place in 1907, 1973 and 2014. The office block with the BR symbol on the top was the proposed BR's Western Territory HQ, but it remained empty because of the abandonment of the particular BR re-organisation scheme of the time.

Built by the Taff Vale Railway in 1840 as Cardiff Docks, this modest station building also served as the HQ of the Taff Vale Railway - one of the smallest yet richest railways in Britain in the pre-grouping (pre-1923) era - until 1862. Incredibly, it then became the consulates of the Netherlands, Belgium, Portugal and Brazil! It is now disused. Hugh Llewelyn.
