The section of line that runs along the Gwendraeth and Towy estuaries is an equal for the south Devon coast line. The line hugs the coast from where it leaves Kidwelly all the way to Carmarthen offering delightful views to the passengers. Unfortunately, for the railway photographer, there are limited opportunities to take pictures due to difficult access so I believe that this is the reason that there is such a dearth of images. This picture shows 175005 approaching Ferryside station passing its down home signal forming the 10.30 Manchester Piccadilly to Milford Haven. Notice the HST stop boards on the up line. The tiny station enjoys a direct HST service to and from Paddington twice a day.
