We next access the line of the Pontypridd, Caerphilly and Newport Railway

I confess to being a bit confused here. In order to access the Pontypridd, Caerphilly and Newport in the direction of Caerphilly and Pontypridd (then on to the TVR Rhondda Fawr line) I would have thought a reversal at Machen would have been in order.
