The Aberystwith and Welsh Coast Railway was a standard gauge railway company, running a line along the west coast of Wales. The railway was planned to run between Aberystwyth and Pwllheli, and on to Porth Dinllaen, with branches to Dolgelly and Machynlleth. These branches joined the Bala and Dolgelly Railway and Newtown and Machynlleth Railway respectively. There were two major river bridges planned: the Dovey Bridge, across the River Dovey, and the Barmouth Bridge, over the River Mawddach. The former proved impracticable to build, so an altered route was built from Aberdovey to Dovey Junction, near Glandyfi, forming a Y-shaped network. Parliamentary powers were also obtained on multiple occasions for a line from Pwllheli to Porth Dinllaen, though this was never built. The routes were open

  • Die Aberystwith and Welsh Coast Railway war eine britische Eisenbahngesellschaft in Wales. Die Schreibung Aberystwith statt Aberystwyth war zeitgenössisch. Die am 22. Juli 1861 gegründete Gesellschaft baute eine entlang der walisischen Küste von Aberystwyth über , Barmouth, Porthmadog nach Pwllheli. In Machynlleth wurde eine Verbindung zur Newtown and Machynlleth Railway geschaffen. Am 27. Juli 1862 erhielt die Gesellschaft die Konzession zum Bau der von Barmouth nach Dolgellau. Am 3. Juli 1865 wurde der Abschnitt von Barmouth bis eröffnet, für einen Weiterbau mangelte es jedoch an Geld. Der übrige Teil der Strecke wurde somit erst 1870 durch die Bala and Dolgelly Railway erbaut. Der Betrieb erfolgte jedoch durch die Cambrian Railways. (de)
