Cardiff Central Station

The station is eerie: it's easy to see why it was on a scary episode of Torchwood. From the moment you feed your ticket through the vicious card machine, until stepping onto the platform, you wish for an on time arrival so you can leave. A minority of people come to the station to actually use a train; the rest to drink, hang around, skateboard and generally intimidate passengers – still, at least the one legged pigeons keep you company. Probably best to plan a journey during the day, come later and you too may see the frightened ghost boy on one of the platforms.
