Author Tom Ferris uncovers Wales’ railway heritage through a series of pocket books, each one looking at a ‘lost line’ of Wales.

Take a nostalgic steam-powered journey back in time on the long-closed line of the Vale of Neath. Includes an essay on the history of the line and photographs of its locomotives, trains and stations. Explore the line station by station as the history, heritage and social background of the railway and its passengers is brought to life using archive photography, some of which has never been published before.

‘Tom Ferris has managed to encompass in this slim volume a great deal of information on this line which is truly a lost line of Wales. […] A nostalgic book for those who require a survey of this line and is, by today’s standard, of a reasonable cost.’ The Railway Observer, RCTS, Jan 2018.

Reviews:

‘There are now eight books in the series, all in the same format and by the same author. The foreword and introduction describe succinctly and knowledgeably the history of each line, mentioning other lines it connected with. The route is then illustrated by carefully selected quality captioned photographs displaying much variety. Every photograph has a steam train in it and along with describing the location the author explains the features that caused that particular class of locomotive to be used. The device of bleeding the photographs to the edge of the page with no white borders is dramatic. Although he does not say so, these books are a celebration of the work of enthusiastic post-World War II railway photographers. […] Good value for money for a wide audience.’ Journal of the Railway & Canal Historical Society
