Description
Just east of Newport in South Wales lies a sprawling industrial steelworks complex, positioned right alongside the busy South Wales Main Line. This stretch of railway sees a constant flow of traffic each day—heavy freight rumbling through and fast passenger services weaving between them. From the vantage point at Llandevenny, the scene opens up beautifully. A summer visit in 2002 offered an abundance of excellent photographic opportunities. Standing on the small road that crosses the four running lines, it was easy to capture trains heading both east and west, framed by the expanse of the steelworks and the rolling South Wales landscape.
For enthusiasts considering a trip today, the location can be pinpointed using the following coordinates:
51°34'44.6"N 2°51'03.0"W.
