The where bypass?! Welsh is my first language and I can't understand what he was trying to pronounce there. I'm genuinely curious! I'm enjoying how relatively often my part of the world pops up on the pod.
Some semi-interesting trivia about the Trawsfynydd power station (first vowel rhymes with "house", by the way. Last one rhymes with "with", so Trouse-VUN-ith).
1) It was the UK's only inland nuclear plant (I'm sure this comes up all the time in pub quizzes).
2) Also, there have apparently been times during the decommissioning when it employed far more people than it did at the height of its actual power production.
I really like the building. Very brutalist, right in the middle of nowhere. It does feel like it belongs there now.
