Originally part of the LNWR network, built to link industrial South Wales with the Midlands and the North, this scenic line runs from Craven Arms to Swansea via Builth Road, Llanwrtyd Wells, Llandovery and Llandilo, and is a popular route for steam-hauled specials.

Concentrating on the famous 16-mile preserved stretch, this book looks at the whole of the original route from Shrewsbury to Kidderminster and Hartlebury, and on to Droitwich and Worcester. It also gives a glimpse of the connecting lines to Craven Arms, Wellington and Woofferton, including the Cleobury Mortimer and Ditton Priors Light Railway.

Talks about: the lines around Shrewsbury; the North and West route from Shrewsbury to Hereford; branches from Leominster to Kington, Hay-on-Wye, Brecon and Talybont; the route of the 'Cambrian Coast Express'; Machylleth and Dovey Junction; and Coastal lines to Barmouth and Aberystwyth.
