The Cambrian Railways owned 230 miles (370 km) of track over a large area of mid Wales. The system was an amalgamation of a number of railways that were incorporated in 1864, 1865 and 1904. The Cambrian connected with two larger railways with connections to the northwest of England via the London and North Western Railway, and the Great Western Railway for connections between London and Wales. The Cambrian Railways amalgamated with the Great Western Railway on 1 January 1922 as a result of the Railways Act 1921. The name is continued today in the route known as the Cambrian Line.

  • Die Cambrian Railways (CambR) war eine britische Eisenbahngesellschaft die ein Schienennetz in Wiltshire in England und in Wales betrieb. Sitz der Gesellschaft war Oswestry. Die Gesellschaft entstand am 25. Juli 1864 durch die Fusion der , der , der Llanidloes and Newtown Railway und der Newtown and Machynlleth Railway. Am 5. Juli 1865 übernahm die Gesellschaft die Aberystwith and Welsh Coast Railway. 1904 wurde die Mid-Wales Railway, 1913 die Vale of Rheidol Railway und 1921 die übernommen. Nachdem die Gesellschaft in den 1870er Jahren in finanziellen Schwierigkeiten steckte, ermöglichte der beginnende Tourismus im folgenden Jahrzehnt eine Verbesserung der wirtschaftlichen Situation. Ortschaften die nicht an der Bahnstrecke lagen, wurden ab 1906 mit Omnibus angefahren. Im Rahmen des Railways Act 1921 wurde die Cambrian Railways der Great Western Railway zugeschlagen. 1921 reichte das Streckennetz der Gesellschaft von Wrexham und Whitchurch im Norden, über Oswestry, Welshpool, Montgomery bis nach Newtown. Ein Streckenast führt von dort nach Osten zur Irischen See. Entlang deren Küste führt die Strecke der vormaligen Aberystwith and Welsh Coast Railway von Aberystwyth nach Pwllheli. Der zweite Streckenast führt nach Süden über und Builth Wells nach Brecon. (de)
