  • Classic Swansea !

  • Great film, It was the shortsighted directors of South Wales Transport who owned & killed off the Mumbles Railway - too expensive, buses were cheaper to run. The tourist value of the train was totally ignored by them despite petitions & protests local & worldwide. The only surviving complete 'tram' was destroyed, I think by fire in a Tram museum. A front section is preserved in Swansea Museum.

  • This is by far the best video I have ever seen on the much lamented Mumbles railway, Thank you for posting
