A heritage centre could be built to retell the story of the first ever steam train journey in Merthyr Tydfil. A £20,000 study will also be carried out to see whether the four-hour journey to Abercynon, made by Richard Trevithick in 1804, can be replicated. The plans also include proposals for a working replica of his first steam train, the Penydarren locomotive. [From Richard Buckby]
