We are a 100% volunteer-run 3.5-mile heritage railway set within the stunning Blaenavon Industrial Landscape 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 have an exciting year-round programme of special events, including our popular Halloween Ghost Trains and Christmas Steam Santa Specials.
Our main station at Furnace Sidings, located close to the A465 Heads of the Valleys Road, has ample free car and coach parking, together with refreshment, toilet, and gift-shopping facilities. We welcome both cash and card payments, and our friendly volunteers will always help you make the most of your visit!
