Terraced Houses
An Arriva Trains Wales Class 150 Sprinter DMU, on the Cardiff to Treherbert service, is seen heading north through the Welsh town of Trehafod in the Rhonnda Valley, with its rows and rows of terraced houses along the valley sides, so typical of many of the former coal mining towns in South Wales. The head frames and mining infrastructure seen to the left of the train are part of the Lewis Merthyr Colliery, a former underground coal mine that ceased operations in 1983 and is now preserved as the Rhondda Heritage Park.
