Amman Valley Railway
The Amman Valley Railway Society (Welsh: Rheilffordd Dyffryn Aman) is situated near the former Gwaun Cae Gurwen branch line, that runs alongside the River Amman, some 10 miles (16 km) north of Swansea in west Wales. Its primary focus is to construct Swansea 9 Lines. An eco friendly tram system to the heart of Swansea & the surrounding areas. The project was originally based off a heritage railway proposal on a lines that formerly served the various collieries of the area north of Swansea and Llanelli.
As of 2012 the Abernant Branch line is cleared, along with a station platform, track beds & unearthed railway lines. All of which are being restored. The group are currently working on completing there Swansea9Lines project.

Famous quotes containing the words valley and/or railway:
“There is not in the wide world a valley so sweet
As that vale in whose bosom the bright waters meet;”
—Thomas Moore (1779–1852)
“Her personality had an architectonic quality; I think of her when I see some of the great London railway termini, especially St. Pancras, with its soot and turrets, and she overshadowed her own daughters, whom she did not understand—my mother, who liked things to be nice; my dotty aunt. But my mother had not the strength to put even some physical distance between them, let alone keep the old monster at emotional arm’s length.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
