This volume covers the important main line section of line between
Carmarthen and Fishguard Harbour, the terminus station opening in 1906
and replacing New Milford (later Neyland) as the previous main line
terminus. In 1909 Cunard passenger liners between New York and
Liverpool began calling at Fishguard and this book contains a
fascinating account of this working lasting 3-4 years which saw fast
connecting trains running to Paddington and the Continent via Dover.
There were also important branches coming off this line at Whitland
(for Pembroke Dock) and also to Cardigan, though the latter was closed
in the Beeching cuts of 1964. The book affords a detailed look at
Whitland where the rail service has been completely transformed since
the end of steam. We see the Milk services that ran from Whitland (as
well as Carmarthen) and the Fish services from Milford Haven, as well
as the Oil Trains which will feature in a later volume.
