http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aberdare_railway_station - Says there that work has been completed on extending the platform, as have all other stations on the valley lines. Quite often two 150s in multiple are used on valley lines services.. and if the platforms weren't extended then they couldn't
As to the 9 150s, quite possibly.. I made a mistake - it was only 8.

On 10 December 2006, ATW received 8 Class 150s from First Great Western due to a reduction in their DMU stock, these being sets: 150230/236/240/241/242/251/253/254.
* 4 will operate on the Borderlands Line (Wrexham Central-Bidston)
* 4 will enter service on South Wales valley routes for use on the restored Ebbw Valley Line from summer 2007

That information isn't correct as the ebbw valley line won't be ready, and they are using the 150s on all services except for those west/north of Swansea, and up to Manchester (and beyond) except that it is 8 150s and not nine.
