Wasn’t the Merthyr station relocated?

The trackbed is still there up to the rear of McDonald’s - from there there is the small matter of a drop in height of around 100 feet, the m4 motorway directly ahead and the river taff to cross before joining the line to radyr - the best place to join would be around the gelynis farm crossing
