The Cambrian Coast: Machynlleth to Barmouth

This documentary offers a unique perspective of the Cambrian Coast line, highlighting its quiet charm and stunning landscapes. The narrative captures the essence of this lesser-known railway, featuring a class 150 "Sprinter" making an unscheduled stop at Dovey Junction. It brings attention to the beauty of the landscape, particularly the treacherous Friog cliffs and the iconic timber trestle bridge at Barmouth, which spans the Mawddach estuary.

The film also includes glimpses of other railways, such as the Talyllyn narrow gauge railway and the Fairbourne and Barmouth Steam railway, enriching the experience for railway enthusiasts. Released in a time when such documentaries were gaining popularity, it serves as a visual record of the railway's character in the late 1980s. Collectors of documentary films or railway history will find this a valuable exploration of a unique transport route in Wales.
