Aberffrwd railway station is a railway station serving Aberffrwd in Ceredigion in Mid-Wales. It is an intermediate stop on the preserved Vale of Rheidol Railway, and is equipped with a passing loop on the largely single-track route, as well as a water-tower for the steam locomotives which chiefly work the line. The passing loop was removed by British Rail some years prior to the end of nationalised operations, as an economy measure.

dbpprop:abstract
  • Aberffrwd railway station is a railway station serving Aberffrwd in Ceredigion in Mid-Wales. It is an intermediate stop on the preserved Vale of Rheidol Railway, and is equipped with a passing loop on the largely single-track route, as well as a water-tower for the steam locomotives which chiefly work the line. The passing loop was removed by British Rail some years prior to the end of nationalised operations, as an economy measure. However, this severely restricted the timetable by preventing the simultaneous operation of two trains, and so the loop was reinstated upon privatisation of the line. It is now common for trains to pass each other at this point during the more intensive summer timetable. For operational purposes the railway is divided into three block sections. These are Aberystwyth to Capel Bangor, Capel Bangor to Aberffrwd, and Aberffrwd to Devil's Bridge. Each block station has a passing loop, and the other three (apart from Aberffrwd) also have additional sidings. The 'Stop Boards' displayed at these block stations (see photograph) are a reminder to the train driver that he must not proceed into the new block section until he is in possession of the proper authority for so doing.
