While it is still possible to travel from Swansea to Shrewsbury along the quaint and sleepy Heart of Wales line today’s experience is a far cry from its heyday, when heavy goods and express trains worked their way over the Welsh hills. In this volume, we explore the southern end of the line, including the now closed section running along the Swansea shore line and the branch to Carmarthen, and document its complicated history around the Swansea and Llanelli areas.
