I remember catching the Train from Sully to Cardiff. We used to play around the station and The stretch across the moors. Just behind the Church next to the Sully Inn were the large foundation remains of Sully Castle, square with large buttresses. I also remember playing in the two quarries, the first by ‘The Vineyard’ and the Cement works. After it flooded, I used to go snorkelling there this is when it was ‘The Flooded Quarry’ before being renamed Cosmeston Country Park.😊
Really interesting. New to Penarth and could see from the footpaths that there was a link to Lavernock but didn't know it went beyond or cosmoston lakes history
Good project. Penarth, Alberta Place Halt. Lower Penarth, Lavernock AND St Mary’s Well Bay (the platforms had exits at each end to serve both !) Swanbridge, Sully and Cadoxton. Parts of the line below Cosmeston are still walkable if you know where to go (Sept 21). The politics behind the line’s creation are very interesting ! With the ENORMOUS housing developments planned toward Lavernock , And Cog Road Swanbridge , such a shame the trackbed wasn’t kept; potential traffic is unacceptable. Penarth Station had 3 lines running through it, 3 platforms , and a Station Master with a Gold Braided Cap !
Due to the shocking public transport options and lack of regulatory Sully and to an extent Lavernock are just not options. There is a lack of consideration for public transport when new developments go up which is ironic if we want to cut carbon footprint and be more inclusive as many people are either not able or not medically allowed to drive
excellent film thoroughly enjoyed. You could probably expand the route from Biglis bridge to document the route through to Wenvoe and include the tunnels under Culverhouse junction.

An excellent video with animations by Ben Salter and very good narration by Will Salter. A talented family, the Salters.

Thoroughly enjoyed that. Love local history, and that line still in living memory.
Lovely piece of filming there Will and superb animations by Ben
How has this fantastic gem of a film only had 101 views?! I'll boost the view count 💪
very nice film
More bygone genius from The Salters.
Nice one Will, guess Ben must be your dad? Please support the Rhondda Tunnel reopening. 🚂🚴♂️👣🇺🇦
