Future Plans
Network Rail are considering rationalisation of this line alongside replacement of the Loughor railway viaduct and re-doubling of the track at Gowerton, planned to happen in 2013. This could mean more traffic being diverted via the South Wales Main Line and Gowerton station.
The rail transport campaign group, the Railway Development Society has proposed instead that this link be restored for passenger services including building stations to serve Llandarcy, Morriston and Grovesend.

Famous quotes containing the words future and/or plans:
“the future is simply nothing at all. Nothing has happened to the present by becoming past except that fresh slices of existence have been added to the total history of the world. The past is thus as real as the present.”
—Charlie Dunbar Broad (1887–1971)
“Consider any individual at any period of his life, and you will always find him preoccupied with fresh plans to increase his comfort. Do not talk to him about the interests and rights of the human race; that little private business of his for the moment absorbs all his thoughts, and he hopes that public disturbances can be put off to some other time.”
—Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)
