History
The Neath & Brecon Railway Company was incorporated as the Dulais valley railway in 1862, the Neath & Brecon was established to build a standard gauge railway between collieries in the Dulais valley and a junction with the broad gauge Vale of Neath Railway at Cadoxton (Neath). On 1 September 1874, the Midland Railway leased the Swansea Valley Railway, having already reached Brecon from Hereford via the Hereford, Hay & Brecon Railway. The Neath & Brecon Railway was absorbed by the Great Western Railway following the Railways Act of 1921.
