Answer 3

A flippin long time ago and judging by the experience I had the last time I was in the UK, I bet it was much better run than they are today!

Answer 4

25th March 1807

A man by the name of Benjamin French had been involved in the laying of lines on this branch and a few years after its opening realised the potential of starting a passenger carrying service between Swansea and Mumbles. The company agreed for him to do this and he paid them £20 a year to carry out this service. On 25th March, 1807, THE FIRST PASSENGER RAILWAY IN THE WORLD WAS BORN.
