I can currently see remains of Blackpill station, perhaps 30ft long and 10 wide, now used as a cafe next to the lido. "The Slip" is sort of still there too..
It had a sad demise too. I recommend the interesting but also tiny and somewhat depressing museum of it in Swansea Marina.
Is that the one which is only open very limited hours and has a cab from the last electric tram cars?
How such an important railway can have been allowed to have been forgotten and so little about it saved really is a heritage disgrace. That it had a provision in its act of parliament for mechanical haulage before the steam locomotive had even been invented Is reason enough.
