Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Swansea Vale Railway Although still listed as part of the Swansea Vale railway, the future appears bleak for this short stretch of railway. Heritage passenger services along this stretch of railway were discontinued a number of years ago for "ongoing maintenance work" - however even at a glance, the rails can be seen to be relatively buckled in places in this photograph.

One hopes they resume their tourist service in future but the last I read was that the right to use the land for railway services was being withdrawn by the council in favour of redevelopment (though I'd be happy to correct if this is wrong).

This short stretch of railway was all that remains of the line that once ran from Swansea to Brynamman (with some services running to Brecon).
