How did the railway climb from Swansea bay & over the road, up to Mumbles road station? I’ve scoured the web & can’t find anything

Thanks for posting this - brought back of memories of my time at Swansea University in the 1980sThere is this film I mentioned last year in another thread which may be on interest:
Watch Swansea, Victoria - Pontardulais Railway, 1964 (June) - BFI Player
“It would be difficult to find a more lovely train journey”, declares Swansea’s Librarian, the film-maker and narrator. Prepare to be beguiled, station by station.player.bfi.org.uk
Thanks from me as well - what a great little film, narrated by somebody who knew and clearly loved the area and could point out all the sights including the tinplate works!There is this film I mentioned last year in another thread which may be on interest:

Thanks for posting this, it's not an area I really know, although I have been on the lines in the district that survive. What a fantastic little film, the affection of the narrator for the journey really shines through. I can imagine those sand dunes causing an unusual problem on the track at times.
Charming. Thank you.There is this film I mentioned last year in another thread which may be on interest:
