In my novel ( listen to me!) I have described using 'left luggage lockers' at Cardiff railway station. I found out today that the station no longer provides these lockers. Will this be a major problem if I leave this in.

If currently, what does the station do with left luggage? Have they got another system, or don't people leave luggage now? It might give your story another avenue.
Prepare yourself for a surprise: They don't.
My understanding is that left luggage facilties at stations went out with the rubbish bins in the 1970s as the result of the IRA campaign in the UK. As always, Google is your friend - google for left luggage ira (without quotes) and you get some v interesting results. I for one (and maybe I'm a picky so-and-so :) ) would find it jarred if you referred to LLL However, if you google for national rail left luggage it now tells me that the Excess Baggage run a service - admittedly only at major stations (but I don't see why they might not expand their service to Cardiff - you could just ask ! or indeed assume for your own purposes that they have). If you visit their site http://www.excess-baggage.com and click on Lost Property there is a picture of one of their "stores".

I think that will have the info you seek.
Hurray :)
