An interesting article on two potential railways in the Gower at the turn of the century...as it says at the end - a great "what if" scenario

Poll: Social Distancing: When will it be an obsolete word?

Horrific thought.

Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

"developing Rhossili into a health resort and the "Brighton of the west"."

If we could guarantee the weather and if our climate would-be warmer I'm sure experts have said that all along the coast from Port Talbot down would have been hotels like Miami!!!

I’ve often said similar.

If only we had the weather (consistently) Swansea bay and the Gower would be better than any beaches you can find in Spain, Greece or anywhere in the world. But on the other hand, those beaches would be ruined long ago by rows and rows of 20 storey hotels, tourist pubs and tat shops selling fridge magnets.

Maybe because we only have 20 - 30 really hot sunny days a year, Gower has been “saved” from tourism, and us locals can appreciate it so much more. Is there many more beautiful places in the world than the Gower on a sunny day?

Yep, Rhossili dodged a bullet there.

Edit - the footage in that article of the Mumbles tram is superb - I hadn't seen that before. Now that is something that we miss.
