In the 1840's two new railway companies The LNWR of 1846 and The MR of 1844 were both engaged in a race to get to the riches of South Wales principally the town of Swansea. The LNWR turned out to be the more successful of the two and obtained the freight traffic from the other, post grouping. We will travel "Over the hills and far away" on the track of The LNWR towards Swansea
