  • ? Junction is in fact Dovey Junction.

  • Has anyone seen the film The Ghost Train (1941) lately ? It was shown last year at Camerton at an open-air cinema. It's a really great classic, and guess where the bridge is ...

  • Brilliant-Thankyou.

    I remember the Ruabon-Barmouth when it was open but have not been abble to find any film.Morfa Mawddach was wonderful.Thanks again.

  • 'Specially pleased to see 75006 as there's a good photograph of it with my wife's grandfather at the regulator at Ynyslas in Dalton's ;Cambrian Companionship'

  • It was the junction where the line from Ruabon to Barmouth met the Cambrian coastline. Ruabon to Barmouth was a mainline, yet Beeching closed it without hesitation, booooo! :(

  • Very interesting, it's interesting how large Morfa Mawddach was, considering a total absence of nearby habitation!

  • Great video that will bring back happy memories to many people.

  • I think that one of the shots is Dovey Junction but it was a long time ago when I was last there?

  • cheers for the SNOW nod!

  • There are brief views of Drws y Nant and Llandrillo on a BTF called SNOW (1963). IT's on You TUbe and well worth a look!

  • Oh thank you! Brings back memories of holidays in Mid-Wales in the late 50s/early 60s. Never complete without an afternoon watching the action at Morfa Mawddach and a trip up the estuary to Dolgellau (yes, it is, the first station). The other junction shots with the tank uncoupling and the Manor arriving from Aberystwyth are at Dovey (sic) Junction, where trains from the Coast and Aber used to combine. 7821 is about (2008) to move from the Churnet Valley via Crewe to the W Somerset.

  • the first station looks like dolgellau?

  • Loving the vids mate. Hope there are more to come. shame there is no sound tho.q

  • Great stuff thanks for posting! Anything of Corwen or Llandrillo or drys-y-nant?

    Anyone?

  • EXCELLENT,THANK YOU.
