The Swansea and Mumbles railway

We take a dive into the worlds oldest passenger line and no we aren't talking up north for deep in the south of Wales lies a railway that was taking passengers long before the railways up north were even thought off!

Excellent, informative video. Many thanks from a Swansea ' Jack '.

There was much local opposition to the eventual closure of the line, with its huge multiple-unit tramcars. One of the cars was burned by vandals later on when kept at Middleton. A front of one is at Swansea museum.

Fascinating video, when you hear of the first railway I never thought it would be in Wales.
