This film was
taken from inside a Mumbles Train during the 1950's. The St. Helen's
rugby and cricket ground can be seen on the left. You will notice
that the film is rather unsteady. This indicates why the Mumbles
Train was sometimes called the 'Rocking, Rolling Train'. |
The signalling
system of the Mumbles Railway can be seen quite clearly at this point
of the route.
