The remains of Upper Bank Station, Swansea
In this 1998 view, the decaying remains of Upper Bank Station can be seen. Upper Bank was opened in 1871 as part of the Swansea Vale Railway's route to Morriston. It eventually reached Brynamman. The whole line was taken over by the Midland Railway in 1876 and additional through routes were added as a result. Passenger services ceased in 1950 and complete closure took place in the 1960s.
By 1985 the only railway here was the section preserved by the SVR Society. In 2007, Swansea Council decided to redevelop the area and by 2010 the preserved railway was itself history, although the society itself lives on.

The yard and signal box at Swansea Vale Railway
This 1998 view shows the main yard used by the Swansea Vale Railway Society who ran a preserved line from Upper Bank to Six Pit Junction. The signal box was vandalised often and at the time of the visit was showing the scars of a recent arson attack.
The Swansea Vale Railway originally ran from Swansea St Thomas to Brynamman. It was taken over by the Midland Railway in 1876 and additional through routes were added as a result. Passenger services ceased in 1950 and complete closure took place in the 1960s.
By 1985 the only railway here was the section preserved by the SVR Society. In 2007, Swansea Council decided to redevelop the area and by 2010 the preserved railway was itself history, although the society itself lives on.
