The station wis greatly stended in 1925 bi the Great Western Railway: the oreeginal station biggin on ane side o the platforms wis replaced bi a grand stance biggin. At that time the station haed five platforms: Platform 1 at the sooth-east end o the station an twa island platforms. Platforms 1 an 2 war essentially bay platforms, ilk o the same lenth (an shorter than the ither three). Thay war the oreeginal Manchester & Milford railwey platforms, uised for the Carmarthen services (tho Platform 2 wis occasionally uised for main-line trains). The Carmarthen line wis closed in 1965. The foregane Platform 3 is on the ither side o Platform 2; it is the anely platform aye uised for mainline rail an haes been redesignated as Platform 1 in recent years. The foregane Platform 4 (closed in 1982, track remuived) is nou takken up bi the "Craft" freecycling shap. At that time the seegnal box wis awso closed an demolished. Aiccess tae the station an the station faceelities is nou primarily via the oreeginal 1864 biggin. The rinning-aroond line atween thir twa, for locomotive-haled trains, endures aye. Platform 5 (closed in the 1960s) wis an emergency platform on the ither side o Platform 4, but awee trace remains. The guids yaird haes acome the Rheidol Retail Pairk. Wi the dwyne o railwey uissage an o local tourism, the faceelities war ower lairge for thair purpose. The railwey yaird wis liftit in the 1980s an the raw o shaps in front, kent as Western Parade, wis demolished in the 1990s tae allou the biggin o a new retail pairk an bus station. The 1925 station biggin haes seen seiveral uises, includin as a local museum, but wis hinderly sauld aff an convertit intae a Wetherspoons pub. This conversion mainteened the airchitecture an wan awairds. Ither pairts o the biggin hae acome an Indian restaurant, office space an accommodation for a local furnitur recycling schame.
Vale o Rheidol Railwey
The platform that wis oreeginally uised bi trains via Lampeter tae Carmarthen is nou uised bi the nairae gauge steam-operatit Vale o Rheidol Railwey. This railwey's track rins parpen tae an immediately tae the sooth o the main line as faur as Llanbadarn Fawr. Appened in 1902, it oreginally haed its awn stance at "Aberystwyth Smithfield" (named efter Smithfield Road, nou Pairk Avenue). This closed in 1925 an wis replaced bi a station a short range frae the main railwey station; that station site is nou a supermercat car pairk. In 1968 its track wis rerouted intae the foregane standard gauge bay Platforms 1 an 2 o the main station. As thair trains unlaid at grund level, a new ledge an grund-level island platform war biggit in the space atween the twa oreeginal platforms. Thare is a rinaroond loop an aiccess tae the foregane mainline railwey shed. This wis uised as the storage an warks airie for the Vale o Rheidol Railwey. Frae 2014, the Vale o Rheidol Railwey, wi the help o an EU-fundit grant, convertit the auld platform 1 o the Carmarthen brainch tae a reduced hicht. This nou allous customers tae buird coaches frae the level o the rinning buird, conter tae frae grund level. The aiccess is invailuable tae passengers wha hae mobeelity issues. This daesna allou wheelcheers tae be wheeled ontae coaches, but the company is warkin on a solution bi adapting some endurin rowing stock tae this purpose.
In 2011, a purpose-biggit railwey warks wis biggit on the site o the auld GWR coaling stage. This nou allous the railwey tae cairy oot heivy mainteenance an restorations on its stock. It awso allous contract wark tae be unnertakken. The warks haes a prentice schuil.
The day
As o 2006, the station haes a single mainline platform for trains tae Machynlleth an ayont, wi a loop that is uised tae reverse locomotive-haled speicials, includin steam services an mainteenance trains.
Thare are owertures, bi the Vale o Rheidol railwey, tae estaiblish a railwey museum at the station, uisin structurs remuived frae London Bridge station upon modrenisation.
Faceelities
The station haes a staffed ticket office, appen sax days per week (Monandays tae Seturdays 07:10 - 17:40). A sel-service ticket machine is awso providit for uise ootside thir times an for gaitherin pre-peyed tickets. Ither amenities include toilets, a coffee shap, restaurant, waitin room an a customer help pynt. Train rinnin information is awso offered via digital information screens, automatic annuncements an timetable posters. Stap-free aiccess is appen atween the ingang, concourse an platform.

Motive Power Depot
A wee ingine shiel wis appened close tae the station in 1864 an stendit in 1867. This wis demolished bi the Great Western Railway in 1938 tae mak wey for a lairger brick biggit structur, whit is aye staundin. The shiel wisna allocatit a code bi British Railways sin it wis deemed a sub-shiel o Machynlleth, an sae locomotives hae that depot's code, 89C.
Aberystwyth Motive Power Depot wis merkit as bein the hintmaist steam locomotive depot on the British Rail netwark. Ineetially closed unner the Beeching report, alang wi the line tae Carmarthen, it wis adapted for uise bi the Vale o Rheidol railwey whan it relocatit tae the foregane Carmarthen platforms. The faceelity replaced a disjaskit set o wee shiels at the railwey's oreeginal base, at the riverside bi the fitba grund. The airie is nou uised as a car pairk. The shiel airie maks a wee spur in whit is itherweys a linear ootset. The Vale o Rheidol wis steam operatit bi British Rail till preevatisation in 1989. Accuirdingly, it wis an aft requeestit posting for staff. The line is steam operatit aye but is awnt bi a chairitable trust.
A new steel framed locomotive warks wis feenisht in late 2011. The biggin includes a machine shap, restoration warkshap an locomotive rinnin shiel. The endurin foregane Great Western Railway shiel is currently uised tae hoose the rinnin fleet.

Caurbon dioxide
Caurbon dioxide (chemical formula CO2) is a naiturally occurrin chemical compound componed o twa oxygen atoms covalently bonded tae a single caurbon atom. It is a gas at staundart temperatur an pressur an exists in Yird's atmosphere in this state, as a trace gas at a concentration o 0.039 per cent bi volume.
As pairt o the caurbon cycle, plants, algae, an cyanobacteria uise licht energy tae photosynthesize carbohydrate frae caurbon dioxide an watter, wi oxygen produced as a waste product. Houiver, photosynthesis cannae occur in daurkness an at nicht some caurbon dioxide is produced bi plants durin respiration. Caurbon dioxide is produced bi combustion o coal or hydrocaurbons, the fermentation o succars in beer an winemakin an bi respiration o aw livin organisms. It is exhaled in the breath o humans an land ainimals. It is emittit frae volcanoes, het springs, geysers an ither places whaur the yird's crust is thin an is freed frae caurbonate rocks bi dissolution. CO2 is an aa foond in lochs, at depth unner the sea an commingled wi ile an gas deposits.
The environmental effects o caurbon dioxide are o signeeficant interest. Caurbon dioxide is an important greenhoose gas, absorbin heat radiation frae Yird's surface whilk itherwise wad hae left the atmosphere. Atmospheric caurbon dioxide is the primary soorce o caurbon in life on Yird an its concentration in Yird's pre-industrial atmosphere syne late in the Precambrian eon wis regulatit bi photosynthetic organisms. Burnin o caurbon-based fuels syne the industrial revolution haes rapidly increased concentrations o atmospheric caurbon dioxide, increasin the rate o global wairmin an causin anthropogenic climate chynge. It is an aa a major soorce o ocean acidification syne it dissolves in watter tae furm caurbonic acid, whilk is a weak acid as its ionization in watter is incomplete.
Leet o ceeties an touns in Belaroushie
The follaein is the leet o ceeties an touns in Belaroushie.
At the beginnin o 2010, 112 settlements haed the status o a ceety/toun. Amang them:
Shijiazhuang
Shijiazhuang is the caipital an lairgest ceety o North Cheenae's Hebei province. Admeenistratively a prefectur-level ceety, it is aboot 280 km soothwast o Beijing, an it admeenisters 6 destricts, 5 coonty-level ceeties, an 12 coonties.
At the 2010 census, it haed a tot population o 10,163,788, wi 2,604,930 in the urban aurie in 2010 an 3,833,606 in its metropolitan aurie, made o 5 urban destricts plus Luquan Ceety, an the coonties o Zhengding an Luancheng. Gaocheng Ceety is aboot tae be pairt o the Shijiazhuang metropolitan aurie, its urbanisation still growin.
Shijiazhuang is a newly industrialised ceety. It experienced dramatic growthe efter the foondin o the Fowkrepublic o Cheenae in 1949. The population o the metropolitan aurie haes mair nor quadrupled in anly 30 years. It is a central hub o transportation routes. The ceety is home tae a lairge garrison o militar troops situatit tae pertect Beijing. It haes a nummer o PLA colleges an varsities. Shijiazhuang haes some o the worst air pollution in the warld, an, as a result, in 2012 launched an initiative tae replace local coal-fired boilers wi gas-fired, an tae tak ither measurs tae reduce the air pollution problem.
History
The auldest name o the ceety wis Shiyi. In pre-Han times (i.e., afore 206 BC) it wis the steid o the ceety o Shiyi in the state o Zhao, an frae Han (206 BC–AD 220) tae Sui (581–618) times it wis the steid o a coonty toun wi the same name. Wi the reorganization o local govrenment in the early period o the Tang dynasty (618–907), the coonty wis abolished. Shijiazhuang then acame wee mair nor a local mercat toun, subordinated tae the flourishin ceety o Zhengding (modren Zhengding) a few miles tae the north.
The growthe o Shijiazhuang intae ane o Cheenae's major ceeties began in 1905, whan the Beijing–Wuhan (Hankou) railway reached the aurie, stimulatin much new trade an encouraging local farmers tae grow cash crops. Twa years later the toun acame the junction for the new Shitai line, running frae Shijiazhuang tae Taiyuan, Shanxi. This connection immediately transformed the toun frae a local collectin centre an mercat intae a communications centre o naitional importance on the main route frae Beijing an Tianjin tae Shanxi an later, whan the railway frae Taiyuan wis extendit tae the soothwast tae Shaanxi as well. The ceety an aa acame the centre o an extensive road network.
