Welsh Railways - a New Perspective

The decline in the coal and steel industries in Wales has reduced the amount of freight traffic over the last 30 years. However, this has been offset by a boom in passenger numbers and over 40 new stations have opened, many reviving branch lines closed during the Beeching era. This book illustrates the changing railway scene in Wales from the 1980s to the present day, focusing on unusual or rarely seen aspects of the network.
