- It's the 29th June, and we make it to the ❤ Of Wales line! Which we've been looking forward to since the start of the trip, surely one of Britain's most scenic railways?
We stop at the least used station in Wales, go over a gorgeous viaduct, meet some local volunteers who tend to their local station and catch with an author who knows a thing or two about travelling on the rails themselves. Vicki's Welsh is slowly improving day by day too, Geoff's less so.
You can buy Ian's rather brilliant railway book on Amazon, here: www.amazon.co.uk/Parallel-Lin...

ROUTE: Swansea - Llanalli - Sugar Loaf - LLanwrtyd - Shrewsbury
my Dad once told me i had a mind like a Welsh railway, i said '' What do you mean''? , he said '' one track and dirty''
Perfect horn placement! ‘This railway is a bit parp-paarp!’
Vicki Explores ..... now there's an idea for a great series of videos.

Absolutely Enchanting -
Dropped in to Sugar Loaf 5th September 2021 - smell of fresh paint on the waiting shelter, gardens looking well tended, DMI working, TFW signs and platform in top notch condition with non-slip surface. Well done TFW.
Loving that you got a seat in the rear cab!
Spot on Ian. Railways for the people by the people.

Will: Impeccable editing on this one. The meandering line out the rear cab with the piano theme = PERFECT! I think it's my favorite shot of the series so far. BTW: keep up the post-roll clips. Love it!
This line is pure gold,loads of the stations are tiny remote request stops
All the stations on the heart of Wales line are all really beautiful and scenic and they are all kept so nice by the brilliant volunteers at these stations, so we'll done. Also well done for getting the pronunciations of the Welsh stations right, spot on!
Llanwrtyd Wells! I had a pony trekking holiday there in 1962 with my best friend from school!
Wonderful and diolch yn fawr i chi for attempting and improving with the pronunciations and for just making a film about this line. I grew up with the Central Wales line [as we call it]. I got told off by my primary school teacher for drawing a 125 HST arriving at Builth Road, she said that would never happen, which disappointingly has turned out to be
Ian Marchant, great writer and a thoroughly lovely bloke too. Excellent
I travelled on my favourite rail replacement journey so far between Knighton and Llanwrtyd, calling at all stations. Dare I say it, even prettier than the train journey!

Great to see Ian Marchant. Love that book. Interested to hear he has a new one out soon.
In 1963 I was lucky enough to do Llandeilo-Craven Arms on a double headed steam train, I think for mail Swansea-York. Climbing up to Sugar Loaf was impressive!
Oh, Geoff and Vicki, it would have been nice to hear that announcement at Swansea. I love the welsh station announcements
