Slightly east of the A4085, the gates are visible to the right, Taliesin pulls a string of "bug boxes" officially known as Birmingham knifeboard observation cars but also known as "Zoo Cars". Probably due to the wire mesh and cage like appearance. The carriages have been fitted with continuous vacuum brake to provide additional braking on vintage trains. This enables the four wheel carriages to travel in the traditional position next to a locomotive on an up train.
