Allocation of Kings Junction to Alexandra Dock ownership uncertain, RCH 1911 shows it as Cardiff Railway and this is supported by1922 OS maps.
South East Junction to Kings Junction not on 1922 maps but is on 1941 edition. Presumably built by GWR post grouping and new mileages carried through to Alexandra Dock Entrance. |
