Newport

Looking west along the freight only spur leading from Newport to the Ebbw Vale line in June 2014. When the Ebbw Vale line re-opened it was proposed that a service from Newport would supplement that from Cardiff, but nothing appears to be on the cards as yet. Thankfully a new station is being built at Pye Corner, near the start of the branch, for opening this year, plus an extension of the line beyond Ebbw Vale Parkway towards the town centre is also progressing.
