near to Aberystwyth, Ceredigion/Sir Ceredigion, Great Britain

Bound for Devil's Bridge

No. 8 sets off on the Vale of Rheidol Railway to Devil's Bridge with a special. On the left are the former standard gauge engine sheds, now the main works and storage for the VoRR.

The Vale of Rheidol train is running along the alignment of the ex-Manchester and Milford Railway standard gauge line to Camarthen which closed in 1965. At that time the Vale of Rheidol line followed a different route into Aberyswyth. In the 1970's it was diverted on to the last mile or so of the Camarthen line trackbed and in to the former standard gauge platforms as seen today.
