The Llynvi and Ogmore Railway (originally the ''Duffryn, Llynvi and Porthcawl Railway'') was formed by the merger on 1 July 1866 of the broad-gauge Llynvi Valley Railway and the standard-gauge Ogmore Valley Railway. It served Porthcawl, Bridgend, and Tondu in Glamorgan, Wales, along with various branches. The company name was spelt ''Llynvi'' using the Anglicised phonetic spelling popular at the time, rather than the correct Welsh ''Llynfi''. ==Chronology== * 1825 The horse-drawn Duffryn Llynvi and Porthcawl Railway (DLPR) authorised by Act of Parliament * 1828 DLPR opened from Porthcawl to Garnlwyd in the Llynfi Valley * 1828 The horse-drawn Bridgend Railway authorised by Act of Parliament * 1830 DLPR completed to its northern terminus at Coegnant near the head of the Llynfi Valley * 1847 Llynvi Valley Railway (LVR) authorised by Act of Parliament and merges with DLPR * 1861 Horse-drawn LVR re-routed and re-opened as the steam-hauled, broad gauge Llynvi Valley Railway * 1863 Ogmore Valley Railway authorised by Act of Parliament * 1865 Ogmore Valley Railway opened from Nantymoel to Tondu * 1866 Llynvi and Ogmore Railway formed by merger * 1868 All lines now mixed gauge * 1872 Broad gauge abandoned * 1877 Cymmer Tunnel opened to connect with the Afan valley * 1883 Amalgamated into the Great Western Railway as part of the Maesteg Line * 1886 Llynvi Valley Extension (Great Western Railway) to Abergwynfi opens * 1958 Ogmore Valley Railway closes (Bridgend-Nantymoel 5 May 1958)〔Railway Magazine June 1958 p. 433〕 * 1960 Line to Abergwynfi closes * 1965 Branch to Porthcawl railway station closes in the Beeching Axe * 1970 Passenger service between Cymmer (Afan) and Bridgend withdrawn * 1971 Cymmer Tunnel closed to all rail traffic * 1973 Cefn Junction and Signal Box closes 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Llynvi and Ogmore Railway」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
