Railway station

The Vale of Rheidol Light Railway in 2006

Capel Bangor railway station is on the seasonal Vale of Rheidol Railway. Unlike most other preserved railways in the United Kingdom, the Vale of Rheidol Railway did not have a period of closure between its being part of the national rail system and becoming a heritage railway, and so has operated a continuous service for residents and tourists.
