Quite a good looking map with an interesting solution to station importance, or in this case, terminal or through stations.
The zones are missing, but this is probably the way the map was supplied to Today's Railways magazine (May 2008).
Running the Queen Street lines into the north side of the layout at Central may have reduced the number of lines crossing the South Wales main line, but it is not what you see out of the window.
Also a shame that the orientation of the valley lines is lost, a square format may have enabled Pontypridd and Rhymney lines to run vertically. The distortion south of Central is also a bit sad. And there's one non-45ยบ angle at Llantwit Major.
Port talbot with a small t. Its been there since 2005, see below. Lower-case l at beginning of Lefel Uchel y Mynydd Bychan.
