My vidoes looking out from borth railway station
Borth railway station is a railway station on the Cambrian Line in mid-Wales, serving the village of Borth near Aberystwyth.
Contents
Facilities
The station, which originally had two platforms, is now an unmanned halt.
The original station building still remains and is in private / commercial use apart from one room, which provides a waiting room for passengers. The station has been adopted under the Arriva Trains Wales Station Adoption Scheme and has won a number of community awards.
Volunteers started in January 2011 to convert an unused part of the waiting room and the long-closed booking office into a museum; this was completed in July 2011. The museum now houses various collections, including Village History, Railway & Industrial Heritage, Natural History and Environmental displays.
In popular culture
The museum and station play a key role in Season 1, Episode 4 ("The Girl in the Water") of Y Gwyll (Hinterland in English), transmitted on S4C in 2013 and BBC1 Wales in January 2014.
Services
Trains call at least every two hours in each direction (Mon-Sat), rising to hourly at certain times of day (morning & afternoon peak periods and into the evening). They run to Aberystwyth westbound and either Machynlleth, Shrewsbury or Birmingham International eastbound. A similar frequency operates on Sundays, but starting later in the day.
