Random Railways 21: Last train on the Wye Valley Railway Chepstow to Monmouth

The Wye Valley Line from Chepstow to Monmouth closed in 1959. The popular tv series Railway Roundabout filmed the special train on closing day, here is their short film of the day.
My new book on the history of the line is now out, published by Graffeg Books.
Available directly from them here:

Or from all good independent bookshops.

Excellent, thank you! We live on the Kymin, which looked down on Troy Station and is in the background at 3:43. I would have been ten years old then...
