As the mainline electrification continues I'd expect more of these applications to appear - particularly New Road, Brachdy Lane, Beresford Road and Splott Road. Southern Way and Central Link already have enough clearance, Beresford Road I am uncertain on...
Beresford Road bridge is scheduled to be demolished and rebuilt from June 2015. Details in the Network Rail report at http://www.networkrail.co.uk/browse%20documents/projects/great%20western/electrification%20environmental%20statements/wales/cardiff/gwml%20electrification%20-%20cardiff%20council%20-%20environmental%20statement%20vol%201b.pdf?cd=2 . Windsor Road is not listed in the document nor anything west of Canton Sheds although I gather that the Cowbridge Road West bridge will also have work done.
