Swansea Vale Railway, Oct 08
My first report in colour!!
Originally opened in 1816, all that remains of the service between Brynamman and Swansea is about 2 miles of track preserved by the SVR Society. Sadly they have now stopped looking after the site after vandals set fire to most of the trains some time last year.
There are trains and carriages every where on the site along with a wooden signal box that is slowly rotting away. The vandals set fire to about 10 restored carriages, which are still on site. There are loads of signals just lying about in the undergrowth along with trackside levers. The amount of stuff just lying about is amazing, so much we are going back again for another look.
