Trains to Aberystwyth - Station Details and further Information on Aberystwyth Train Services

Aberystwyth train station is a train station serving the seaside and university town of Aberystwyth, Ceredigion, Wales. It is served by passenger trains operated by Arriva Trains Wales, being situated at the terminus of the Cambrian Line, and also by the narrow-gauge Vale of Rheidol Railway.

Arriva Trains Wales services operate to Shrewsbury and Birmingham International approximately every two hours although there are proposals, funded by the Welsh Assembly, to increase the frequency of this service to hourly. They currently call at Borth, Dovey Junction, Machynlleth, Caersws, Newtown, Welshpool, Shrewsbury, Wellington, Telford Central, Wolverhampton, Smethwick Galton Bridge, Birmingham New Street and Birmingham International.

There are proposals for reinstating a direct train to London which was terminated in 1991. The journey would take four hours and may use larger trains.

The station itself as of 2006 has a single mainline platform used by trains to Machynlleth with a loop that is used to reverse locomotive-hauled specials, including steam services and maintenance trains. The second mainline platform had the track removed in 1982 and the signal box was also closed. Access to the station and the station facilities are now primarily via the original 1864 building.

The platform that was originally used by trains via Lampeter to Carmarthen is now used by the narrow gauge steam-operated Vale of Rheidol Railway. Opened in 1902, this railway originally had its own terminus at Aberystwyth Smithfield (named after Smithfield Road, now Park Avenue). This closed in 1925 and was replaced by a station a short distance from the main train station; the station site is now a supermarket car park. In 1968 it moved again, this time to use the now-free platform at the main Aberystwyth station where there is a runaround loop and access to the former mainline railway shed. Nowadays this is used as the storage and works area by the Vale of Rheidol Railway.
