Lost Lines: Bangor to Afon Wen

New Hardback Illustrated

Postscript summary

Embroiled in controversy when the decision was taken in 1895 to only employ men who could speak English, the Bangor to Afon Wen line tended to be heavy with passengers alongside the Menai Strait but quiet thereafter as it threaded its way through the sparsely populated Llŷn peninsula. Illustrated with archive photographs this volume takes a station-by-station approach as it uncovers the line’s heritage, casting light on its place in industry and social history and detailing the locomotives that served it.
