GWR Ruabon Barmouth Part 1 

Doubled from Ruabon to Llangollen Arthur.

Much of it is still there. But it’s owned by the local trailer builders as a showroom

Thank you!

One of the Trevor platforms are still there but badly overgrown.

Your AA book is correct. Track was still in use but only for goods to Steelworks at Trevor when that went the last section was lifted. Sections of trackbed being lost in developments since.

@@arthurbaldwin1804 we have travelled from Nottingham to Penrhyndeudraeth and beyond since 1969 and once beyond Uttoxeter not THAT much has changed in 50 years apart from a bye pass to two. Remember the steelworks well.

As mentioned, the track bed is still visible, I live 3 miles away, however understandably overgrown but attempts have been made to cut it back to be fair. Rhosymedre fork is barely visible now unfortunately, and little further up the old bridge still exists (used as main entrance for Cefn Druids Football Club) but the exit been filled towards the high bridge in video but your able to climb over this. You can go as far as just when the track passes over Shropshire Union Canal just before the Sun Trevor and a little bit more past there by the site of the old Sun Bank station sight of the accident. Just before you come into Llangollen on the clip you can see a body of water to the left, this stretch of track bed has now been bought by a camp site who have flattened the track bed and made it as a walk way into Llangollen which is enjoyed by many. On the approach to Llangollen there was a Dr. Who exhibition and other buildings on site of old track but the very last stretch just before going under the tunnel is a walk way but pedestrians have to walk up steps to the right Thanks for he upload, really intrigued at how this line may have looked

@@markwaters2077 thank you for your most interesting comments. I find it interesting that, once past Uttoxeter, we take the A518, how little has changed on the drive from Nottingham to Porthmadog since my wife and I first drove that route in 1969. It is, in fact, my favourite drive in UK. There is so much of interest en route and given a few diversions some very interesting aqueducts!
