Samenvatting	Paul Lawton and D. W. Southern continue this series of pocket books exploring Wales' railway heritage, each revealing a ''lost line'' of Wales. The closure of many of these lines has had significant and lasting impact, and the recovery of some routes is of public relevance and a source of debate today. Though the Conwy Valley line is not lost in the traditional sense and continues operations, this title recalls a by-gone era when steam locomotives were at their peak. Opened in 1863, the Conwy Valley line began with the primary purpose of transporting slate from the Ffestiniog quarries for export by sea.

This compact guide is a rich and highly informative account of an essential aspect of British heritage.
