1961 - Penarth Dock Station and the last day of passenger service! Another photograph borrowed from Laurence Waters excellent book 'Railways of Cardiff'. He states : 'A view of Penarth Dock Station on Saturday 30 December 1961 - the last day of passenger services over the line. Standing at the platform is the 1.55 pm service from Penarth to Cardiff General, the train to call at the station.' [992] [993]
