On Rhiwfron station Vale of Rheidol passenger trains ceased running at the end of October this year, so no trains today.

Some 'retro' fun today - using a manually operated lens, which I haven't done for a good many years! In this case, I set it at maximum aperture, thereby minimising the depth of field. Hence, the station name board is in focus, but beyond is not. I know this is possible with fully automatic cameras, but with them, I tend to be lazy and just use automatic settings. Let Intelligent Auto be your friend!
