Excellent video from Aberystwyth to Lampeter. Archetypal Welsh branch line. Interesting to see the traction engine in that bloke' s shed/warehouse. The Manchester & Milford was standard gauge whereas the Carmarthen and Cardigan was broad gauge and they met near Pencader. The local lines and branches were dependant on milk traffic, the Milk Marketing Board having numerous factories next to the line, like Greengrove near Felin Fach. The Newcastle Emlyn branch had also an Esso depot next to it as well. There was a milk factory next to Pont Lanio station. Often the Milk traffic outlived passenger traffic some not shutting until '73. Strata Florida was named after a Cistercian Abbey and Derry Ormond after a local park. Another big business was animal feed and British Oil and Cake Mills (B.O.C.M) had numerous prefabricated warehouses next to the principal stations. Best wishes and than you. 🙂👍
@@pwhitewick You're welcome. I have it the other way round, the line was busy with pannier tank locos and Manor's and the ubiquitous milk-trains which the colour film was shot from circa '64, the numerous halts and passing-loops. Interesting to see how it looks. They seem to have by and large looked after the tracked well with signage. At least now you know courtesy of that farmer what the difference us between a station and a halt or perhaps platform. That hole under the ivy-covered platform. Can't be sure on that particular location but if a signal box was close, say platform-end they often ran the point-rodding to signals sub-platform and exited there and run along the track to the signals. Didn't you do Tetbury near Dymock? I think they did it there, kind of a semi-circular arch under platform. 🤗
Excellent information Mark. I'll add that the line to Pont Llanio was indeed open into the 1970s, there was a heavy snowstorm (can't remember which year) and a train was filled with bread and driven to at least as far as Olmarch 10:30 in the video. The farm there belongs to the ex-headmistress of Llangybi school and if you had knocked and asked her or her husband could have told you more. People walked for miles through snowdrifts to take the loaves home for their families and were very grateful. Loved the vid and saw some places I'd never seen. Thanks for sharing.
I live in the U.S. In a place called Wisconsin. Why on Earth am I watching a video about old railway stations in the U.K? ... Oh, yeah, I LOVE the adventure you have chosen for yourselves. Thank you and thank all the helpers you had on this one!!! Carry on. :)
We’ve got some great rails to trails here in WI! The Elroy-Sparta trail has three tunnels to walk through and the Wiouwash trail runs through my town. The latter was used for filming some scenes in the Johnny Depp movie Public Enemies. There’s a park bench with a plaque on the section where they filmed.
The building on the platform at Deri Ormond was still standing up to five years ago. And nearer Lampeter at Glan Dennis there was a track spur and a platform, the other side of the road to the big house at Glan Dennis. Very visible the Tregaron-Lampeter way, invisible Lampeter to Tregaron.
Greetings Paul and Rebecca it is now Sunday morning May 29 and I’m sitting on my Veranda enjoying this nice autumn sunshine I thoroughly enjoy your channel because I like Railway archaeology specially when you’re in Wales my surname is Evans I might have some Welsh ancestry in me but I’m not 100% sure on that but I hope you look after your treating your cheese and kisses When you’re doing your field research I did this you stations railway line I hope you and Rebecca have a nice lunch and a nice cuppa somewhere along the road anyway once again brilliant work Paul I love your work and also Rebecca your research is absolutely fantastic well Ford absolutely brilliant channel yours Jeff Rosebud Melbourne Victoria Australia
Really excellent Paul 👍do you know anything about the Wirral way ? no hidden tunnels but lots of platform structure remaining over a 12 mile walk ever fancy a gander more than happy to help
2:05 if that’s a gap under the platform chances are there was a signal box situated in the platform and the gap is where the linkages for switching the points and the signal cables exited from the box
Another great video! My guess is that hole under the platform at 02:12 is where a signal box used to be. I've been to Strata Florida to visit the ruined abbey, I was told it means "Valley of the flowers"!
Interesting stuff. The Steptoe place was quite a find. Looks like he had most of the parts of the station that would have survived in that shed! This is why i enjoy your vidoes you go the extra mile to seek out the stations and track on private land.
great video guys I've subscribed to your channel good to see reminants if the past it's a shame that we lost so much of our railways to beeching I can only imagine how brilliant our rail network would be today keep making the videos very entertaining :-)
You achieved a lot in one day. I would have got no further than the traction engine in the barn. Why would anyone go to the effort of bending a bullhead rail in two, to make a gatepost? I subscribe, but I am catching up on some of your older videos. From Spain it is always good to keep abreast of history in the homeland.
first job on a saturday am : watch the fabulous whitewick video . second job on a saturday am : give the fabulous whitewicks a 🤞. great job as always guys , wish they were longer
Nice one I shall watch this when have more time I take the children from the local primary school in Llanilar when I have taught them cycle training down that route. I also cover every primary school in the county. Hopefully you have done Bettws Bledrws as well in the serie's
I found your site by chance and I love it. By the way I'm from Australia, just north of Melbourne in Victoria. There's a loging line near me, I'll have to walk now.
Whitewick's Abandoned Railways nice to see you in my neck of the wooks in Pembrokeshire the old preseli mountains railway ar woth looking in to Did you know... Rosebush village sprang up when two slate quarries started operating here, The Bellstone quarry and The Rosebush quarry. They operated between 1825 and 1891 and supplied the slates for the Palace of Westminster in London. A railway line was built to transport the slate but that has long since disappeared. The village platform, however, does still exist. In Maenclochog researchers have found what are believed to be the remains of a 13th-century castle. The village was served by The Maenclochog Railway formally known as the Narberth Road and Maenclochog Railway which ran from Clynderwen on the Great Western Railway via Maenclochog to Rosebush. The tunnel just outside Maenclochog achieved fame during the war when it was used as a testing site for bombs by Barnes Wallis, creator of the ‘bouncing bomb’.
Great video both ..nice you have "translator" with you if the society are successful you may be able to travel by train from carmarthen to Aber once more !
@@pwhitewick have look at Traws Link Cymru ,the welsh government have commissioned a report on it ,after the success of the Borders railway ..who knows !!
I have walked the section from Strata Florida to Aberystwyth a few years ago and it is a good days walking with great scenery and railway structures on route, your Welsh is improving with practice keep it up! I live on the other Heart of Wales line at Dolau and have walked the Mid Wales line Moat Lane Junction to Builth Wells sections if I can be of help with any of the other disused lines in the area am willing to do so. All the best, Brian.
I lived in Builth for a short while for my internship last year and have only just realised that there was another line that intersected with Builth Road. Had I known at the time I certainly would've explored it. That in itself was an odd station (which took me a while to find) as not only was it a good distance from the town itself, it's also hidden right behind a row of houses which I thought was private land through a passageway hidden around a corner!
@@highdownmartin ex signal maintenance section man for 15 years working on the signal box runs in NSW Australia. have cleaned and replaced some over the years.
Re your "mystery hole" - could it be the base of a signal box? The place where the rods and wires came out of? Also saw a railtour to Lampeter just about an hour ago.
Guys - one of your best videos. Full of facts and information, great characters and railway relics. Manchester as in Lancashire or is there another one in Wales?
Have you git ny information about the crossing of the railway over the Ystwyth? to the west of Llanilar and to the NE of Abermad, there must have been a bridge there judging by the old rail track but there appears to be no sign of it now, OS shows a footpath over the river but no bridge or ford and the river appears to be too deep for crossing by foot.
Cheers Richard. We'd love to out more photos in but getting them with no copyright infringement is close to impossible. (And extremely time consuming).
Interesting that so many old rail lines have been turned into pretty average looking paths. Makes me wonder if I've ever walked past a demolished station in the past without realising.
Well I'm really enjoying your series of every disused station kind regards from Mark in Cornwall and if case you're wondering I have changed my channel name so don't worry too much so when you start exploring in Cornwall please let me know and I will assist you where I can cause I do know where the loads of discharged stations are and as I said to you before I am quite active with the helston railway and if you would like a look around there I could arrange that for you
Thank you Mark. If you could do me a favour and drop me an email. I've got a note of peeps happy to help so a quick reminder would be great. whitewickpaul@gmail.com 👍👍
Here's a new one for you. Our local maps show dismantled railways instead of disused. Mainly coal lines but when you get to Chester Road the Tyne & Wear Metro follows the old route as far as Pallion and heading into town to Park Lane where it joins the mainline instead of following the Hendon Branch to the Docks
Interesting video. A question: Does it have no abandoned lines, but still with the tracks? This is much more interesting. In Switzerland and France I have already walked on such lines. But maybe in England the tracks are always removed?
Thank you for the question. Essentially the vast majority of abandoned railways that we walk on have no track left. Most was taken up after closure. There are one or two of our videos where we explore areas with tracks in place but this generally means they were closed more recently.
Paul, Rebecca Llanrhystyd Road railway station opened on 12th August 1867 Closed 14th December 1964 so if you do a log and you don't know the dates I'll track down on Wiki to help if yourself and Rebecca are busy
@@pwhitewick Ah, you're right, thought that was still the Trawscoed bit ... missed the Caradog in the text over. The Ystwyth cycle route which runs (tries to) on the track bed from Aberystwyth to Tregaron was supposed to run through Caradog Falls but the council failed to get permission from the land owners so in spite of the council having already renovated a large section of the track heading that direction it had to be abandoned with the cycle track forced to descend back down to the valley bottom before following the windy steep main road back up to Tyn Y Graig (Caradog Falls Halt). Bit of a shame because it's one of the most interesting sections of the track.
@@termite2691 yes indeed, a shame as it goes through the upper section of their garden above their house. Can't win them all. Next episode features the tunnel adjacent to the Halt.
How do you manage to take photos and videos of old objects that everyone else would look at and think is boring, and you guys make it seem interesting? Like old fence posts etc. You spot them and they’re like, cleverly made ones, but everyone else would just overlook them?! I bet that made no sense did it?! 🤣🤣🤣
