‘British Railways Past and Present’ is a nationwide series of books featuring photographs of railway locations taken several decades ago which are compared with an image of the same scene today. Such is the current pace of change on our railway system that even a few years can reduce a busy and vibrant railway scene to a wasteland or housing estate - or conversely those years can bring electrification and up-to-the-minute technology to an outdated, run-down route. Whatever the nature of the changes, the comparison of ‘past’ and ‘present’ will intrigue not only the railway enthusiast and historian, but also anyone interested in our recent history. In this volume covering Mid and South Glamorgan are over 260 photographs featuring: * The South Wales Main Line from Rumney to Pyle * Lines of the former Rhymney Railway * The railways of Cardiff * Railways of the Taff and Rhondda Valleys * Lines of the former Barry Railway * Railways of the Mid Glamorgan Valleys
