	Teifi and Gwili
		The railway also has plans to extend southwards, to a terminus near the Carmarthen bypass, which now severs the trackbed back to the main line.
		Both have given some thought to the overall visitor experience - both have miniature railways for the very small (and not so small...), both have established woodland walks and trails beside the line, with picnic places too.
		Both railways have plans to extend - both are just a bit off the beaten track, although the area seems to be popular with holidaymakers, and there seemed to be no shortage of custom.

		The sole purpose of RAIB investigations is to prevent future accidents and incidents and improve railway safety.

		With so many magazines available on railways it may hardly seem pertinent to suggest that anyone should acquire any more, but there is a whole new world in the field of Railway Preservation Society Magazines.
		The Spa Valley Railway in Sussex, the Churnet Valley Railway near Stoke and the Gwili Railway are all small railways but their magazines have some interesting design ideas and are very attractive.
		With much of steam railway enthusiasts' attention focussed on the larger preservation schemes of the time, there was little to be read about the negotiations regarding the Embsay Station site.

		The Gwili Railway, a section of privately owned railway line running through a classically picturesque Welsh Valley, was in desparate need of investement in order to continue with its programme of restoration of line milage and running stock.
		The development of an image which would inspire both investors and passengers was crucial before any work could begin on the share prospectus, and the resulting logo captured perfectly the character of the organisation in its simplicity and nostalgic feel.
		All house stationery, as well as the share prospectus, were multi-lingual documents with all text reproduced in English and Welsh.

	Gwili Railway, Carmarthenshire, West Wales
		In March 1978, the Gwili became the first standard-gauge preserved railway to operate in Wales when it re-opened a one-mile section of the Carmarthen-Newcastle Emlyn route from its base at Bronwydd Arms, three miles north of Carmarthen.
		Since then, the Gwili has steadily expanded into the idyllic surroundings of a wooded valley where its previous terminus was a former quarrymen's halt on the banks of the River Gwili.
		The Gwili has a large collection of locomotives and rolling stock, and there are too many to list here (though perhaps it will be included in a later update) but two items are worthy of special mention.

		On your return to Pant, visit the workshops where old steam locomotives are repaired - follow the new footpath to a picnic site which has an amazing panoramic view of the valley.
		The trip down memory lane starts at Bronwydd Arms Station, and the steam train follows the route, originally taken by the Carmarthen to Aberystwyth line to the new terminus at Danycoed.
		If the weather is fine, you can relax alongside the weir and enjoy a picnic, or walk the quarry workings above the station, whilst others might like to take a free ride on the miniature railway.
