Aberystwyth, Machynlleth, Barmouth, Gwynedd, CF10 5DJ, WalesAbout
Cambrian Coast steam trains starting at either Machynlleth or Aberystwyth, and running along the Cambrian Coast Line as far as Porthmadog or Barmouth, take in some of Wales' most stunning mountain and coastal scenery. Sights along the line include the white sands of the Mawddach estuary and the famous Barmouth Bridge, Harlech and Cricieth castles, Snowdonia Mountains - and all from the comfort of vintage carriages. The Cambrian Coast steam trains run between 30 July and 28 August 2006. Services from Machynlleth to Porthmadog run on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays with services from Aberystwyth to Barmouth running on Sundays. Tickest are priced at £27 for adults, £20 for children and £85 for a family and can be booked by calling the dedicated reservation line on 0870 428 4077 or from any Arriva Trains Wales staffed station. As an added bonus, passengers travelling on special steam services to Porthmadog are entitled to a 40 per cent discount for the Welsh Highland Railway upon presentation of their ticket. Running from Porthmadog, the Welsh Highland Railway allows travellers to continue their journey to Pen-y-Mount and experience the specially recreated atmosphere of an early twentieth century narrow gauge railway.
