Introduction
Aberystwyth's Railway Society, for all kinds of train enthusiasts. Whether you like locomotives, stations, track bashing, model railways or general rail history, this is the society for you! We hold regular socials including rail-themed quizes, day trips and of course your typical pub social.
There are many heritage railways nearby, and we take full advantage of this. We have organised trips on the Talyllyn Railway and Vale of Rheidol, and plan to visit more in the 2024-25 academic year such as the Telford Steam Railway. In addition to heritage railways, we sometimes hop on a classic Transport for Wales Class 158 for a day out in a different town such as Shrewsbury, Birmingham or Borth. Aberystwyth is also home to some unique attractions such as the cliff railway.
