  • Phone Box I Remember Being Quite Excited at the Prospect of This Village Having a Telephone Box
    Phone Box I remember being quite excited at the prospect of this village having a telephone box. In the early 1960’s only five or six households had the luxury of a telephone. When the railway station was open emergency phone calls could be made from the Booking Office at cost price. It was originally intended to place the kiosk on the junction under the street light but space was very limited and the new phone box was eventually erected in its current position. The year was 1966 Roger Young, May 2019 Street Lights Originally there was only one feeble street light in the village situated on the junction. In the early 1960’s a second light was placed in the middle of the village. The current seven light scheme was put in about 1980 and included a light in the phone kiosk. The railway station never had electricity and was lit by oil lamps. Roger Young, 20 th May 2019 School Transport On the demise of the trains at the end of 1962, home to school transport was provided by bus. Gwernyfed was served by Western Welsh. Llangorse area to Brecon County schools travelled on Vic Jones Pontfaen’s “Flying Banana”, a pale yellow and white with a black flash; a Bedford S B Coach with a 33 seater Duple Body that leaked whenever it rained (Registration no: CCP339). Any trouble-makers were allocated seats that the driver, Vic, could see in his interior mirrors; continued bad behaviour resulted in the pupil being thrown off the bus and left to walk home - as Vic would say, he was not in the army for nothing! The bus never broke down in the morning going to school but the trip home was not so reliable.
