The Brecon Mountain Railway

The Brecon Mountain Railway 
 
Travel from our Main Station at Pant in one of our all-weather Observation Carriages, behind a vintage Steam Locomotive.
 
 
The line runs from Pant, 3 miles north of Merthyr Tydfil, to Torpantau following part of the route of the original Brecon & Merthyr Railway which closed in 1964.
 
 
The journey takes you into the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons National Park), through Pontsticill and along the full length of the Taf Fechan Reservoir before climbing to Torpantau high in the Beacons and the summit of the original line.
 
 
At our main station in Pant, you can visit our Tearooms for refreshments while gifts and souvenirs are available from our Shop. You can also visit our Workshop where the Steam Locomotives and Carriages are maintained and repaired.
 
 
All trains travel non-stop from Pant to Torpantau.
All returning trains from Torpantau stop at our intermediate station in Pontsticill where you can visit our lakeside cafe, admire the view or go for walks alongside the reservoir.
There is also a children’s play area here.
