Details

BR (Derby) Suburban 3-car dmu (Class 116) No.C327 (consisting of Class 116/1, 175 & 116/2 cars) in BR Rail Blue with all yellow front end, at Cardiff (Bute Road) - now called Cardiff Bay - on a Coryton service, 02/75. 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.
