Dowlais Iron Company.
ACD - ?/05/1854 - C, CPLGB p14, RPSGB.
DRS does not list and Cobb does not show this section of line, presumably as it was a private company line. However, RPSGB states that the service was advertised in Bradshaw's, "Brad showed trains up to and including May 1854 – inertia? did they hope to reopen service? – some of the local press tts were still showing times in November 1854. Not just workers’ service: Returns show that they carried 2,149 passengers, including 158 firstclass, in second half of 1853".
