NEYLAND - A GREAT WESTERN OUTPOST

The history of the GWR in west Wales has been poorly serviced by by Railway Historians in recent times. A sad fact, as it is an area of possibly greater variety than almost any other. Arguably the most fascinating of all these locations must be Neyland, or New Milford as it was once called, formerly the prinicpal port of embarkation to Ireland from the Welsh Coast. Its rise to fame came quickly and was also destined to be equally rapid in its decline..
