I went on this lift in 1971 when I was 16. I think the cars have changed since those days. I remember them being made of wood! You did not show the interior of the lower station. I remember it being staffed by a sleepy boy! We decided to walk back down as we didn't think the lift was very safe! Thanks for uploading.
Nicely shot! Welshman living in Brunei here, amazed to see this as I was completely unaware this existed! But there again, I haven't been to Aber for over 40 years lol. The only Funicular I have ridden on, was in Barcelona. Will defintely give this a try on my next visit home (Swansea)!
Has this recently been refurbished? The cars, track and ballast all look very new. Were it not for the lower station building and one of the other comments here, I'd have thought it was a new build! 😇

@@swanvictor887 Glad you enjoyed. Aber is not too far from Swansea.
that name really is a mouthful
@@DraecDragon A lot of Welsh names are a mouthful, but I find it interesting to discover what they mean.
It's simply _„Railway of Crag (Cliff)“,_ which is how names like that are laid out in the Welsh language. 😇
Here in Pittsburgh we're very familiar with funiculars - we call them inclines.
@@thomaskeane5723 There are a number in the UK.

Scarborough has these too
@@fredziffle1991 Yes, I think I may have travelled on that one some years ago.
