Aberystwyth
A scene on the Vale of Rheidol Railway in the old Carmarthen Line platforms at Aberystwyth in July 1980. At this time the line was still operated by British Rail so perhaps the long held legend that regular steam finished on the BR network in 1968 should be revised. The line is now privately-owned. This terminus has since been replaced by a new one further behind where I was standing here (hard to believe its FORTY YEARS AGO) and which I visited in 2017, only my third visit to the VoR since 1980 and 1986. The standard gauge terminus is on the right.
