The original viaduct to cross the River Lougher (between Swansea and Llanelli) was built in 1852 but during 2013 a replacement was constructed and with it the tracks in the vicinity were re-doubled to cope with an increasing number of services west of Wales' second city. This view shows the new viaduct, opened for service on 8th April 2013, with Arriva Trains Wales' Class 175 No. 175114 working 1W16, the 11:10 Milford Haven to Manchester Piccadilly on 30th July 2014.
