Lost Lines of Wales- Bangor to Afon Wen

Authors Paul Lawton and David Southern continue Graffeg's series of pocket books exploring Wales' railway heritage, each revealing a 'lost line' of Wales. The closure of many of these lines has had significant and lasting impact, and the recovery of some routes is of public relevance and a source of debate today. The history and social background of the railway and its passengers is explored station by station. Photo-illustrated throughout, its story is brought vividly to life through extensive research and archive photography, some of which has never been published before. In this addition, take a nostalgic steam-powered journey back in time on the long-closed service between Bangor and Afon Wen, cut as part of the Beeching Axe in 1964.
