About

South West Wales Connected is a Community Rail Partnership established by Transport for Wales and hosted by 4theRegion. The overall purpose of Community Rail Partnerships is to encourage greater use of rail services through increased participation of local communities in their rail line and by a range of activities at and surrounding their station to provide economic, social and environmental benefits to the region’s residents and visitors.

We have commissioned this audio tour as part of our ongoing railway heritage projects and the celebration of Swansea and the Mumbles Railway—the world’s first fare-paying passenger service, established in 1807. This initiative not only marks an important chapter in global railway history but also serves to celebrate and preserve Swansea’s rich rail heritage. By bringing the story to life, we aim to celebrate its legacy while ensuring that future generations can appreciate its impact on transport history.
