Porthcawl’s Lost Railway - Can You Walk The Old Porthcawl Branch Line?

Walking the lost Porthcawl Branch Line from Cefn Junction Signal Box to the site of the old Porthcawl train station. How much of the old railway can you still follow?

To help me follow the old line I used this website: https://bit.ly/3CDFHC7

The walk takes you past Kenfig Hill, Pyle, South Cornelly, Nottage and Porthcawl. There are still signs of the old railway in some areas but has been extensively built over in other sections.

The first track was for a horse-drawn tram built by the Duffryn Llynfi and Porthcawl Railway. It was later converted to steam and then became a popular passenger service for day-trippers and holidaymakers visiting Porthcawl.

The line was taken over by the Great Western Railway in 1873

Following the Beeching Act, the branch line closed to passengers in 1963 and to all traffic on 1st  February 1965.
