6th July 1965

Two Derby high density sets arrive into Cefn On Halt from Caerphilly Tunnel (South portal) in South Wales on July 6th 1965. The halt served a local golf course and Cefn On park with exotic flora very popular with sunday trippers and ramblers. Apparently it was difficult to wave down a southbound train as there is only a short distance from the tunnel bore to the platform and drivers coming out of the dark tunnel just went sailing past! The station closed on Saturday, 27th September 1986, with a new Lisvane and Thornhill park and ride station - and acres of new housing being built further south. The area is now trashed by the M4 motorway so the tranquility of this scene is lost forever. Image by John Wiltshire. Peter Brabham Collection.
