I apologise for the poor quality of these pictures but they were taken through the train window. © David Meaden  Looking back towards Morfa Mawddach.   This is the swing bridge section although it's a long time since it was last opened and it is no longer openable.  Swing bridge section in the middle distance.  From the Barmouth side of the Mawddach. |

When I was in the Air Cadets I did an adventure camp at Llanbedr, and I did some Mountain Climbing on a rock face above Barmouth, when climbing the Rock face or waiting your turn you could look back down at the river mouth and the Bridge, And what a view it was, one of the views I will never forget.

Wasn't that the viaduct that was "eaten" by sea slugs or something similar quite recently ? Never mind the train windows David - excellent shots.  ____________________ 'Petermac |

Yes that's the one - Toredo worms or shipworms. The relevant timbers are now encased in a protective jacket. It was a bit touch and go as to whether it would be repaired at one stage but it was and is now one of the highlights of the journey up the coast. Regards David |

Great photos but look at the state of the trackbed in the last photo. So much for the Tory dogma of privatisation of the railway system. I bet the trackbed wouldn't have been allowed to get into that state when the railways were state owned by the much maligned British Railways. And now you are all going to post photos to prove me wrong... Terry (Sorry about the wide spacing. It seems to happen when editing and is impossible to correct). edit.hopefully that's better.Alan. |

I think it's as much to do with legislation as anything Terry. There will be all sorts of rules and regulations about using weedkillers so close to the estuary. It's probably also the reason for using steel sleepers a lot nowadays so they don't have any comebacks from people complaining about the use of creosote. I agree though it certainly doesn't look good or create a good impression to passengers. Regards David |
