Rheidol Falls railway station is a railway station serving in Ceredigion in Mid-Wales. It is an intermediate station and request stop on the preserved narrow gauge 1 ft 11¾ in (603 mm) Vale of Rheidol Railway.

Access[]

The station is inaccessible by road.^[1] A footpath leads from the valley floor to a level crossing, and then on up the hill above the line. The footpath is well-used by walkers.

Facilities[]

The station has had limited facilities during its lifetime, despite being open throughout the history of the railway, except for a short closure during World War Two. Following the provision of grant money from the European Union for rural community infrastructure investment,^[2] the station was considerably developed during 2013 and now has a raised-level and surfaced platform, fencing and an attractive period (replica) station building.^[3]
