Lost Lines: Conwy Valley Line

About this ebook
While the Conwy Valley railway is very much still with us, this survey aims to capture many ‘lost’ aspects of the line’s remarkable history. Its personality has changed dramatically over the years. Built in sections and lured up into the mountains of Snowdonia by the chimera of huge profits from slate, it became instead a firm favourite of tourists and walkers and is enjoyed to this day by well over 100,000 passengers a year.
