LAST LLANELLI: Thank you for the Llanelli and Mynydd Mawr Railway article (August issue). Attached is a view of the final train to cover the branch line under BR – the Monmouthshire Railway Society’s ‘Robeston Rumbler’ from Newport on October 14, 1989 – which is seen at Cynheidre. The train was formed of DMU sets S942 (Nos. 52044+59382+51928) and S945 (Nos. 51925+59380+53643) and is waiting to return to the mainline.

THE Manchester South Junction and Altrincham Railway (MSJ&AR) is one of those little-known obscure railways where little of its rolling stock has been preserved, but tucked away at Butterley are two compartment carriages preserved from this railway dating back to 1931.
