About this product

Product Information

This volume covers the important main line section of line between Carmarthen and Fishguard Harbour, the terminus station opening in 1906 and replacing New Milford (later Neyland) as the previous main line terminus. In 1909 Cunard passenger liners between New York and Liverpool began calling at Fishguard and this book contains a fascinating account of this working lasting 3-4 years which saw fast connecting trains running to Paddington and the Continent via Dover. There were also important branches coming off this line at Whitland (for Pembroke Dock) and also to Cardigan, though the latter was closed in the Beeching cuts of 1964. The book affords a detailed look at Whitland where the rail service has been completely transformed since the end of steam. We see the Milk services that ran from Whitland (as well as Carmarthen) and the Fish services from Milford Haven, as well as the Oil Trains which will feature in a later volume. AUTHOR: John Hodge is a retired railwayman, who started his working life on the Western Region in South Wales, later transferring to London Paddington and British Railways Board. He was brought up in Barry, a port town west of Cardiff, which has strong railway connections, once being an important port for coal traffic and later being famous for Woodham Brothers scrap yard, which held over 200 locomotives, that are now mostly preserved on heritage lines. John Hodge is a life long railway enthusiast and historian, with many railway histories published. This volume on the line from Carmarthen to Fishguard Harbour is his latest work in his West Wales Railways series. 54 colour, 366 b/w illustrations & maps

    For anyone interested in the railways of west wales, this book is a must have. The number of photos is unbelievable, and in my case it was a question of recognising some old faces. EXELLENT REGARDS MIKE GIBBON WHITLAND
