Having covered the southern section of the Central Wales Line and its branches in the volume entitledSwansea to Llandovery, this volume traces the line from Llandovery to Craven Arms, where it met the North & West line and took its traffic on to Shrewsbury. This takes in the remarkable feats of engineering the Victorians undertook to forge this line across the Welsh hills, as we take a nostalgic look at a railway lost; its country stations, signal boxes and heavy goods and express trains largely replaced by simple request stops and single-car diesel units.
