Llynfi and Ogmore Railway

From Graces Guide

The Llynfi and Ogmore Railway was formed by the merger on 1 July 1866 of the broad-gauge Llynfi Valley Railway and the standard-gauge Ogmore Valley Railway. It served Porthcawl, Bridgend, and Tondu in Glamorgan, Wales, along with various branches.

The company name was spelt Llynvi using the Anglicised phonetic spelling popular at the time, rather than the correct Welsh Llynfi.

  • 1861 Railways reopened as the Llynvi Valley Railway
  • 1866 Llynvi and Ogmore Railway formed by merger
  • 1868 All lines now mixed gauge
  • 1872 Broad gauge abandoned
