Lost Lines: The Mid Wales Line

by Tom Ferris

Overview

The Mid Wales Line ran from 60 miles, from Moat Lane Junction near Caersws to Brecon, passing through the old counties of Montgomery, Radnorshire and Brecknock. It followed the river valleys of the Upper Severn, the Dulas, the Marteg and the Wye, serving the towns and villages along its route for just short of 100 years. This classic Welsh rural railway is recalled in a delightful selection of nostalgic photographs of its trains and stations.

About the Author

Tom Ferris is a publisher, historian and author. He has written 16 books and 30 video scripts to date, all relating to his keen passion for railway heritage. He is the Assistant Station Master at Bridgnorth, on the Severn Valley branch of GWR. Tom’s first four books with Graffeg, the Lost Lines series published in April 2016, explore four railway lines in Wales, all built during the golden age of steam. Each book takes the reader on a nostalgic journey along the line, tracking the route from end-to-end and reveals the story of the line along the way; from its promotion and construction through to its heyday and eventual demise. The one exception to this is the Cambrian Coast Line which, as the author relates, narrowly escaped the closures of the 1963 Beeching Report and is still very much with us today, fulfilling the vital transport function for which it was built in the Victorian age. The series has since expanded to include several more titles with contributions from more authors as well as Tom.
