Railway

A Memory of Hirwaun.

I worked at the railway station at Hiwaun, for a few years before moving to work at Shrub Hill Station, Worcester. I think that the Station Master was a Mr.Boult/Boulton. It is a pity that the trains do not run any more on that line. In the days when I worked there you could go anywhere in the country by train, Swansea and West Wales, Pontypool Road, and connect with trains to wherevever you liked. The last time I was in Hirwaun all that was left of the station was part of the platform.... Beeching had a lot to answer for.
