}} The Cambrian Line is a railway from Shrewsbury (in Shropshire , England ) to Welshpool , Aberystwyth and Pwllheli . The railway runs first through the central part of Wales and then along the coast of Cardigan Bay . The lines from Welshpool to Aberystwyth and from Dovey Junction to Pwllheli make up the surviving sections of the Cambrian Railways main line (constructed between 1855 and 1869 ). The railway is very scenic, with parts travelling through the Cambrian Mountains or along the Cambrian Coast . This latter section travels over the spectacular Barmouth Bridge , which crosses the River Mawddach . The line diverges at Dovey Junction , just after Machynlleth , to serve either Aberystwyth, or Pwllheli via the Cambrian Coast Line. The stations on these routes are listed below. Cambrian Line

The Cambrian Railways became part of the Great Western Railway and on nationalisation these lines were operated first by the Western Region of British Railways and later by the London Midland Region . In a later reorganisation, passenger services were operated by the Regional Railways sector. Following privatisation, passenger services were first operated by Central Trains , but since 2003, these routes have been part of the Arriva Trains Wales franchise. EXTERNAL LINKS SEE ALSO |
