This picture below left shows the approach road to the Mumbles Pier. The Mumbles Train would have travelled along this route, stopping in front of the cafeteria next to the pier. The Mumbles Pier was (and still is) a popular site for local people and tourists. The poles on the left of the picture originally carried the electric cables which powered the Mumbles Train.

This picture on the right is from the 1950's, and shows the Mumbles Railway line as it approaches the Mumbles Pier terminus. The posts carrying the electric current for the train can be seen on the left. Large numbers of passengers would travel to and from the Mumbles Pier as it was a popular destination for local people and holidaymakers.

The film shows a view from inside a Mumbles Train as it approaches the Pier Terminus. Notice the limestone cliffs on the right hand side of the track. Limestone was one of the reasons why the Mumbles Railway was built. You can find out more in the Story of the Mumbles Railway.
