Book Synopsis Milford Haven and Neyland Branches by : John Hodge
Download or read book Milford Haven and Neyland Branches written by John Hodge and published by Pen and Sword Transport. This book was released on 2022-09-15 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part of the West Wales Railways series, this book starts at Clarbeston Road, covers the oil-rich town of Milford Haven, where oil refineries were opened mostly in the 1960s in association with the deep-water port, to accommodate super tankers from the Middle East, though the development of other products and pipelines in the oil world has seen the number of oil terminals there currently reduced to one at Robeston. Neyland was the original West Wales terminus of the GWR, after plans to develop Fishguard were delayed until 1906, and saw several through Passenger and Parcels trains to Paddington until 1963, when through passenger trains between Paddington and West Wales were terminated at Swansea with a DMU service beyond. The Neyland branch from Johnston was closed under the Beeching cuts of 1964, involving the closure of the important Motive Power Depot whose allocation of County Class engines is well illustrated, though the effect of this was largely nullified by the arrival of the diesel age.

Book Synopsis A Comprehensive Guide to Railway Request Stops by : Anthony Hart
Download or read book A Comprehensive Guide to Railway Request Stops written by Anthony Hart and published by Pen and Sword Transport. This book was released on 2022-03-10 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rail By Request is an enthusiast’s personal story and tells how the author visited, photographed, and spent time at every request stop on mainland Britain. It also explains where his love of railways is rooted, why he began this odyssey and how it became a very different and important experience to him. Journeying across the whole railway map to capture these often ignored stops – not just for posterity, but for the journey. The lure of request stops and the practicalities of completing the journey to discover them, is the core of the story. Researching every request stop in Britain and planning how to get there and overcoming any difficulties, became a source of great satisfaction. Every stop is described and has at least one illustration. Some historical context to the stops is included, with current statistics. The story also shows how, he ticked off each stop, but unexpectedly found himself passing the time engaged in a form of railwayana mindfulness – allowing the world to rush past whilst being alive in the moment. It shows a calmer slower world does exist.

Book Synopsis Dr Beeching's Axe 50 Years On by : Julian Holland
Download or read book Dr Beeching's Axe 50 Years On written by Julian Holland and published by F+W Media, Inc.. This book was released on 2013-09-27 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Julian Holland's Dr Beeching's Axe 50 Years On is a unique memorial to all that was lost following the publication of the ‘Beeching Report’ on 27 March 1963. Uniquely, the author has tried to include every railway line that was closed as a result of the ‘Beeching Report’, and more. They are all shown on Map 9 in Part 2 of the ‘Report’ and have been annotated for clarity at the beginning of each regional chapter in the book. Needless to say it is not plain sailing: there are lines that were marked for closure on the maps but were closed before publication of the ‘Report’; there are lines that were not originally on Beeching’s original hit list but which were closed anyway; there are lines that were originally marked down for closure but which were fortunately reprieved. There are even one or two which seem to have not existed at all! The author has included them all.
Book Synopsis Llanelly West to Camarthen by : John Hodge
Download or read book Llanelly West to Camarthen written by John Hodge and published by Pen and Sword Transport. This book was released on 2020-04-30 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A pictorial survey of the 20 miles of railway line between the junction station at Llanelly and the county town of Carmarthen in West Wales. Railway historian John Hodge looks at the development of the lines in West Wales, between these locations, taking in the history of the local industry that was once a feature in this area. This book covers each station and main location along the route, with good photographic coverage and interesting long captions explaining the location’s significance. Additional text is provided for several locations, giving more historical detail and anecdotal information: Llanelly West/Old Castle Crossing Pembrey & Burry Port Carmarthen Bay Power Station Lando Halt Kidwelly Flats Halt Kidwelly Ferryside Carmarthen Carmarthen Junction Carmarthen New Station Carmarthen Junction Shed Carmarthen Shed The work is of interest to railway historians and those who accurately model railways, having a good coverage of the subject throughout its pages. “Narrative summaries of each of the major locations are provided, but the real strength of the book lies in the several hundred photographs which the author has brought together. These include the huge and diverse range of steam motive power to be found at Carmarthen shed over the years, a fine selection of views of Carmarthen station itself, everyday and special trains passing through rural and often highly scenic locations, and useful views of the intermediate stations and signal boxes which will be particularly valuable to the modeller and historian.” —West Somerset Railway Association

Book Synopsis Whitland to Pembroke Dock by : John Hodge
Download or read book Whitland to Pembroke Dock written by John Hodge and published by Pen and Sword Transport. This book was released on 2022-06-16 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whitland to Pembroke Dock is the latest book in the West Wales Railways series which continues the previous South Wales Main Line series covering the line from the Severn Tunnel through to ends of the main line in West Wales. This volume covers the section from Whitland to Pembroke Dock, a largely agricultural and holiday line, centring on Tenby and Pembroke. The line was worked by Whitland depot which was a steam sub-shed of Neyland, with its own allocation, mainly of tank engines. These worked the Cardigan and Pembroke Dock branches until the former was closed under the Beeching closures of the mid-1960s, when the engine shed was closed under dieselisation in 1964. The volume of freight traffic was radically affected by the withdrawal of goods sundries and parcels traffic, but especially by the withdrawal of wagon load freight traffic in 1976, which had brought much Animal Feed and Farming traffic to the line. Like much of South Wales, the traffic is now purely passenger with DMUs though Summer Saturdays still sees a through train now with IETs to and from Paddington, carrying on the service from HSTs. The previous Pembroke Coast Express in steam and early diesel days was the prime train on the branch running to and from Paddington and is still reproduced in the modern preserved steam special workings.
