Die Neath and Brecon Railway war eine britische Eisenbahngesellschaft im Südwesten von Wales. Die Gesellschaft wurde am 20. Juli 1862 als Dulas Valley Mineral Railway gegründet. Geplant war, das Gebiet zwischen den Ortschaften Neath und im Tal des durch den Bau der zu erschließen. Am 2. Oktober 1864 änderte die Gesellschaft ihren Namen in Neath and Brecon Railway, nachdem sie die Konzession zum Weiterbau bis Brecon erhalten hatte. Dort bestand ein Übergang zur Brecon and Merthyr Tydfil Junction Railway. 1865 wurde mit der Progress die erste Lokomotive der Bauart Fairlie eingesetzt. Am 3. Juni 1867 eröffnete die bis Brecon. Am 26. Juli 1869 übernahm die Gesellschaft die , mit der in Colbren Junction eine Verbindung bestand. Dazu erhielt sie Streckennutzungsrechte über die nach Swansea. Zugleich musste sie jedoch der Swansea Vale Railway Streckennutzungsrechte über das gesamte eigene Netz einräumen. Die Rechte gingen 1874 auf die Midland Railway über. Zur gleichen Zeit verpachtete die Neath and Brecon Railway ihr Streckennetz an die Midland Railway. Mit dem Railways Act 1921 wurde die Gesellschaft ab dem 1. Januar 1922 der Great Western Railway zugeschlagen. Die Midland Railway wurde durch die London, Midland and Scottish Railway übernommen, und diese nutzte die Rechte bis circa 1930, als die Verpachtung beendet wurde. Die Strecke wurde im Rahmen der Beeching-Axt 1962/1963 geschlossen. Am 1. Juli 1964 wurde der Abschnitt Neath bis Onllwyn wieder in Betrieb genommen, um den Anschluss eines Bergbaubetriebes sicherzustellen. (de) The Dulas Valley Mineral Railway was incorporated in 1862 to bring coal from the Onllwyn area north-east of Neath to the quays there, and in the following year was reconstituted as the Neath and Brecon Railway. The line was opened as far as Onllwyn in 1863. The directors allowed a contractor John Dickson a free hand in building the line and when he became bankrupt the company was in a desperate financial situation. Nevertheless, the line was completed to Brecon in 1867, and an offshoot to connect with the Swansea Vale Railway, giving better access to Swansea, was ready in 1873. The larger Midland Railway acquired rights over the line and ran a heavy mineral train service for many years, although the remote and difficult course of the line was expensive to operate. After the 1922 "Grouping" of the railways, a pooling agreement led to the diversion of the heavy traffic to routes that were easier to work over, and the line reverted to a quiet and remote rural line. The passenger service was withdrawn in 1962 and present-day (2017) traffic is confined to uncertain mineral business from Onllwyn to Neath. (en) |
