This could have been turned into a new passenger service. We should be preserving our railways for use not closing them.

the whole site is now overgrown, the bridge the track at 0:34 runs under has been filled in, the footbridge is still there but now has been closed so a small foot crossing to Halls Road Terrace was built, only a small portion of track remains where the footbridge is. Shame that the line was not kept open and diverted to Blackwood where the new road bridge was built.
