The coastal and mountain scenery around the railway lines of North
and Mid Wales is among the best in Great Britain. Here we look at
the British Railways lines and the trains that ran on them in the
years between 1980 and 2000, as recorded by my cameras during my
many visits to the area. A few photographs from earlier years are
also included to help to complete the picture. During this period
of time, quite a lot of mechanical signalling and many old station
buildings still remained, all adding to the railway atmosphere.
Featured here are the North Wales Coast line and its branches, the
former Cambrian line from Welshpool to Aberystwyth and Pwllheli,
and the Welsh section of the Shrewsbury to Chester line. While the
emphasis is very much on the main lines, the Welshpool and Llanfair
Light Railway, closed by British Railways in 1956 and reopened as a
heritage railway, and the Llangollen Railway on a section of the
former Ruabon to Barmouth line also feature, as does the Vale of
Rheidol Railway, sold by British Rail into private ownership in
1989\. A few photographs of the steam specials that regularly ran
on the main lines are also included.
