Lost Lines of Wales

Geoffrey Lloyd

Description

The line from Newport to Ebbw Vale and Brynmawr lost its passenger services from April 1962 before the notorious Beeching cuts. It remained open for freight trains serving the steelworks in Ebbw Vale until its closure in 2002. Passenger services were restored in 2008 and exceeded all expectations of growth and a project to expand service frequency is now in progress. Starting with a brief history of the route, this book provides a nostalgic journey along its length and portrays its stations and services in its heyday.
