Lost Lines of Wales - Chester to Holyhead

Author Tom Ferris uncovers Wales’ railway heritage through a series of pocket books, each one looking at a ‘lost line’ of Wales.

Take a nostalgic steam-powered journey back in time on the route between Chester and Holyhead. This line is not lost in the sense that some of the other long closed railways covered in this series are lost. What the line has lost is much of the infrastructure it had in its heyday.

Includes an essay on the history of the line and photographs of its locomotives, trains and stations. Explore the line station by station as the history, heritage and social background of the railway and its passengers is brought to life using archive photography, some of which has never been published before.
