We are a volunteer-run heritage railway set within the stunning Blaenavon World Heritage Site on the edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park.

​

Founded in 1983 by enthusiasts who wanted to preserve the Brynmawr to Pontypool line for future generations, since then we’ve grown and developed to welcome thousands of passengers every year. Today our volunteers operate steam and heritage diesel services on weekends and bank holidays throughout the spring and summer, allowing visitors to take a trip back in time through the heritage landscape.

 

We also run on selected Wednesdays during the school summer holidays and have an exciting year-round programme of special events, including our popular Halloween Ghost Trains and Christmas Steam Santa Specials.
