On 10 Feb 1914 The South Wales Transport Company was incorporated as a subsidiary of the British Electric Traction Company Limited (BET). It was formed to operate bus services in Swansea and surrounding towns (Neath, Llanelli, Pontardawe etc) , to complement the electric tram service provided by another BET subsidiary, Swansea Improvements and Tramways Company (SITC). The head office was at Rutland Street, Swansea and the buses were housed at a depot in Brunswick Street (which later became the company's head office). The first service ran from the train terminus at Ynysforgan to Pontardawe on 2 May 1914.
In 1927 the company took over the lease of Mumbles Railway and Pier from Swansea Improvements and Tramways Company, and the two companies merged. Immediately, South Wales Transport Company worked on the electrification of the line, which had previously been run by horse and then steam. Power had been granted by the Ministry of Transport in 1925, under the Railways (Electrical Power) Act of 1903. An electricity sub-station at Blackpill was built, and an agreement made with Swansea Corporation for the supply of electrical power. South Wales Transport Company then took over the tramway company in 1930, although both continued to be wholly owned by BET, with the same management and directors.
In 1935 the two companies sought parliamentary powers to abandon the tram system and substitute it with bus services. The routes were still leased from Swansea Corporation, whose approval also had to be sought. The result was the Swansea and District Transport Act 1936, which gave power for the company to operate bus services in the County Borough of Swansea for 21 years. An annual fee was to be paid to the Corporation and at the end of that period the Corporation would have the right to compulsorily acquire all local services. The act also provided that a Transport Advisory Committee was set up. After 21 years the corporation did not choose to exercise the right to take over the local services.
In the 1930s the company expanded its remit to include coach tour holidays throughout the UK, and to other European destinations. As air travel became a more popular way to travel over-seas, the company arranged air tours with air travel companies at Cardiff and Swansea. The company opened a Travel Agents at Craddock Street, Swansea, and acted as an agent for the major operators in world travel.
Between 1935 and 1937 the company acquired various small local bus companies, including J M Bacus & Co of Burry Port, The Gwedraeth Transport Co (1933) Ltd of Pontyates (both ran services in the Llanelli-Carmarthen direction), Willmore Motors Ltd of Neath, John Brothers of Grovesend, Treharne Bros of Ponthenry and Osborne Services of Neath. In 1952 the company purchased Llanelly District Traction Company, which operated trolley and motorbus services within the town of Llanelli. The trolley buses were scrapped and replaced with motor buses.
Coming to the end of the 1950s, there was an investigation into the future of the railway. The company found that the fall in passenger numbers due to the increasing use of private motor cars, and the increase in operating costs, meant that it would be beneficial to abandon the railway and replace it with bus services. It purchased the railway and pier from the proprietors, Swansea and Mumbles Railway Company and the Mumbles Railway and Pier Company, and then applied for an act to abandon the railway. Despite a petition signed by almost 14000 people, from the Mumbles Railway Passengers Association, the South Wales Transport Act 1959 was passed. Mumbles Railway ran its last train on 5 Jan 1960.
Mumbles Pier had been sub-leased to the Amusement Equipment Company Limited since 1938. It was closed and declared unsafe in 1952, but the sub-lessees had repaired it, and it re-opened in 1956. After the abandonment of Mumbles Railway, the pier and hotel was owned by South Wales Transport Company, who continued to lease both to Amusement Equipment Company, before selling to them on 22 Dec 1971.
The company also ran The Magnet Club, the official sports and social organisation of the employees of the South Wales Transport Co Ltd. The object of the club was to encourage and provide facilities for all forms of social, educational and athletic recreation and general good fellowship between members.
In 1967 the South Wales Transport Co Ltd was transferred to the Transport Holding Company. Under the Transport Act of 1968 the National Bus Company (formed on 1 Jan 1969) took over the Transport Holding Company's interests. The former BET subsidiaries were rationalised, with South Wales Transport taking control of the smaller businesses Neath and Cardiff Luxury Coaches Ltd and Thomas Bros (Port Talbot Ltd) in 1969, and United Welsh Services Limited in 1970. All three companies were completely absorbed by South Wales Transport in 1971. In 1972 some services, vehicles and depots of Western Welsh were taken over. On 8 May 1987 the company was purchased by its management team, led by the Managing Director, David Bending, and it became privatised. It became one of the privatised subsidiaries which now make up First Cymru Ltd.

This collection is a comprehensive resource for bus, railway and tramway transportation in South Wales, mainly for Swansea and the surrounding areas. Some of the records pre-date the South Wales Transport Company as the collection contains records inherited from associated companies with interests in Mumbles Railway and Pier, Swansea and Mumbles Railways Limited, Mumbles Railway and Pier Company and Swansea Improvements and Tramways Company. There are also records from bus companies which were acquired by the South Wales Transport Company Limited; J James and Sons Limited, Neath and Cardiff Luxury Coaches Limited, United Welsh Services Limited and Thomas Bros (Port Talbot) Limited. Other noteable businesses represented in the archive are Western Welsh Omnibus Company Limited, The Tramways and Light Estates Company and Llanelly District Traction company.
The railway was originally called Oystermouth Railway, later being re-named the Swansea and Mumbles Railway. Most commonly, however, it was known as the Mumbles Railway. It has been referred to as Mumbles Railway in the catalogue, except where records specifically refer to it in any alternative way.
Arranged as follows: South Wales Transport Company Limited, Swansea Improvements and Tramways Company Limited, Swansea and Mumbles Railway Limited (including Mumbles Railway and Pier Limited), J James and Sons Limited, Neath and Cardiff Luxury Coaches Limited, United Welsh Services Limited and Thomas Bros (Port Talbot) Limited.
Within these sections, records have mainly been arranged to reflect the functions of the businesses, e.g. corporate and shareholding, finance etc. It should be noted that there was a lot of overlap between the companies with interests in the Mumbles Railway, particulary between South Wales Transport and Swansea Improvements who were associates under British Electric Traction, with the same management team. Therefore there may be some overlap within the arrangement of the records, examples being the managers' files, secretarys' files and plans. The original order of papers within a file has been maintained, this is usually anti-chronological.

One of the provisions in the Swansea and District Transport Act 1936 was the setting up of a transport committee to consist of 3 representatives from Swansea Corporation and 3 representatives from South Wales Transport Company. The Committee considered and made proposals about the development of road passenger transport services within the transport area, including fares.
In 1957 the Swansea and District Transport Act ceased and the Corporation waived its right to acquire local transport services. It was decided, however, that the committee would remain, as it had proven useful. Meetings were held quarterly, either locally or in London. In 1970 the functions of the Committee were widened to include representatives from United Welsh Services Limited
According to a letter in this folder, dated 18 Jul 1968, these papers were returned to the secretary, L B Benyon, by J H Richardson following his resignation from the committee.

The company's head office was originally located at Rutland Street, Swansea, before it moved to the company's Russell Street offices (which also encompassed Brunswick garage). The Russell Street offices were destroyed in 1963 and replaced with new offices which opened in Apr 1964. Following the Swansea and District Transport Act 1935, and the replacement of tram services with buses, new accomodation was needed to house extra bus fleets. Land was purchased at Ravenhill to construct a 130 vehicle garage, which was completed in 1937. This was enlarged in 1939 by the addition of central workshops. The head office since 1985 has been Heol Gwyrosydd, adjoining Ravenhill works.
The garage at Brecon Road, Pontardawe, was built in 1928 but was replaced in 1960.
Eastland Road garage in Neath was built c1933. After the acquisition of Western Welsh Omnibus Company Limited, South Wales Transport used Neath Abbey, the former Western Welsh depot.
The Llanelly District Traction Company operated trolley and motor bus servicces in Llanelly [Llanelli]. In 1952 the South Wales Transport Company purchased the undertaking (including their Robinson Street depot) from the South Wales Electricity Board, and replaced the trolley buses with motor buses. Expansion of the Llanelli District Traction Premises at Robinson Street, Llanelli occurred when the freehold was purchased in 1965. The nearby premises in Copperwork Road were then closed.
Haverfordwest garage was transferred from Western Welsh in Mar 1972. Ammanford garage was acquired with the J James and Sons concern in 1962, and was rebuilt in 1968. Clarence Terrace was the United Welsh depot in Swansea, it came into South Wales Transport ownership in 1971. It was closed in 1981
The plans in LAC/10/1/7/1-15 concern rebuilding of the office block and workshops block

The company was registered as a limited company on 22 Oct 1873, by its founder George Grant Francis. The company constructed and improved streets and operated tramways leased from Swansea Corporation. It was incorporated as a statutory company by an act of 16 Jul 1874.
In 1877 the company began to work the Mumbles Railway, under an agreement with the owner George Byng Morris, dated 9 Jun 1877. They built a connecting tramline to a junction at the slip and trialled steam engines. This tenancy was rebutted in 1879 when ownership of the railway had changed hands, to John Dickson, a railway contractor, and his company Swansea and Mumbles Railway Co Ltd. This led to a lengthy legal and financial battle between the two companies over Swansea Improvements' right to run steam vehicles over the railway. In 1896 an agreement was reached with Swansea and Mumbles Railway which meant they stopped running services on the line in return for certain payments.
The company passed into the control of the British Electric Traction Company Limited (BET) in 1898, and by 30 Jun the street tramways were run by electric traction. The company entered into an agreement with Swansea and Mumbles Railway Company, and Mumbles Railway and Pier Company to lease the railway and pier for 999 years. The railway continued to be driven by steam. It wasn't until 1924-1925 that the company applied, and had approved, an order to convert the railway line to electric traction. This order was not taken up until a few years later when the lease of the Mumbles Railway and Pier was transferred to the company's associates at BET, the South Wales Transport Company.
The company was taken over by South Wales Transport Company in 1930, although both continued to be wholly owned by BET, with the same management and directors. The Swansea and District Transport Act 1936 gave power for the two companies to abandon the tramways which were becoming seen as obsolescent due to their lack of speed and hindrance to other traffic on narrow streets. With the permission of Swansea Corporation, who owned the routes, the Act allowed for the tramways to be abandoned and replaced with bus services for 21 years. After this time, the Corporation would have the right to compulsorily acquire all local services. Swansea Improvements remained in business, nominally running buses over the old tramway routes. It was dissolved on 30 Sep 1953.

First edition ordnance survey maps on which had been pencilled the horse tram routes in Swansea. Later amended to show additional lines and feeder pillars when electrification took place in 1900.
There is some evidence of original order with these maps, as many of them have been given titles and a reference number. However, the items were deposited in 3 boxes, in no particular order. The items have been listed individually, but due to their poor condition they have not been sorted into their original order, or in any other way, to prevent further damage

Contains statements of parties, and returns of the bench decision, in the dispute between Nicholl Morgan and some employees of Swansea Improvements and Tramways Company. He is accused of breaking a railway bye-law by smoking, they are accused of assault as they attempted to eject him from the carriage for smoking.
In 1804 a group of Swansea pioneers promoted a parliamentary bill to build a railway line from Swansea to Mumbles. The act was passed, the Oystermouth Railway and Tramroad Company was incorporated and work began on building the line. In 1806 goods traffic began to pass over the line in wagons pulled by horses, limestone being the most common form of goods. In 1807 the line became unique in providing the first regular rail passenger service in the world. The railway was hit by massive competition when a road was built between Swansea and Oystermouth in 1826. The passenger service was closed, and the line remained unused except for the traffic from a few goods trains.
The ownership of the railway passed to George Byng Morris, the second son of Sir John Morris (one of the original shareholders) in 1840. The line was re-laid with edge rails in 1855 and the passenger service between Swansea and Oystermouth was re-opened by 1860. In agreements dated 19 Oct 1864 and 15 May 1865 George Byng Morris agreed to sell Mumbles Railway to John Dickson, a railway contractor for £20000. The purchase was not completed as Dickson was declared bankrupt and the railway remained in Morris's hands. In 1877 it was eventually sold at auction and bought by friends of John Dickson for £31000.
On 31 Mar 1879, Dickson registered his business as a limited company, called the Swansea and Mumbles Railway Company Limited. In 1884 the company leased the railway to Sir John Jones Jenkins and Robert Capper, who then sub-leased it to Swansea Improvements and Tramways Company. Capper later assigned his interest to Sir John Jones Jenkins, who secured a very large financial interest in the company.
In 1889, an Act of Parliament was obtained incorporating a new company, the Mumbles Railway and Pier Company, with powers to build a new railway extending to Mumbles Head, and a new deep water pier. Work started and the new line and pier opened on 10 May 1898.
The undertakings of both companies were leased to Swansea Improvements and Tramways Company by an agreement dated 16 Dec 1899 for 999 years (as sanctioned by the Oystermouth Railway or Tramroad Act of 1899). The companies remained as freeholders, collecting rents under the terms of the lease. In 26 Jul 1893 the Swansea and Mumbles Railways Limited was registered to acquire the business of the older company of almost similar title.
In 1958 the South Wales Transport Company Limited bought both the railway and the pier from the Swansea and Mumbles Railway Limited and Mumbles Railway and Pier.
