    Brilliant , I lived in Blaencwm in the 1950s and I used this line to travel to Maesteg most Saturdays and to Swansea on day trips, the detail is spot on, I wish that I could purchase it for my train sim .

    This music should be known as "the Rhondda tunnel theme" from now on, I've watched this about 10 times so far,and it's absolutely magical... Well done 👌🏻

      Especially as it was also used on the walk-through of the tunnel :)

    Fabulous little video. This was the train we used to use to travel from Trehafod to West Wales to visit family in Glynarthen in the 1950's.

    If only Dai Will was still around, we could have called in for a cuppa and a quick tour underground at Fernhill. Thanks for posting this.

    Hi, Im Lorine, a current year 3 architecture student from Cardiff university, I am currently doing a community design project fro Cymmer. Your video is really amazing and showing a lot of details of the past Cymmer, I am wondering did you use a 3d model to do this simulation? If that is the case, is there any chance I could access to that file? Thanks a lot and it is absolutely fine if you can't share it for any reasons. Thanks

      Thanks! The Porthcawl Route is available via the 'Recreating Britain's Lost Routes' Facebook Page.
      I hope to get the rest out there sometime. But bear in mind that most of these aren't routes as such, just models of a specific area. The Penarth coastal route will probably be next to get published...
