The trains go to Aberystwyth, but only from England and a few select places in Wales en route. From north or south Wales, there is an "express" bus operated by Arriva, but without a car, it is difficult. Much easier in 1870s! Blame Beeching.

Hi Dai.Its not only 1873 for the problem in how to get to Aberystwyth?There has been a lot of talk lately on how to get there NOW? As I don't think the Railway Line goes there anymore does it? There has also been talk in shifting the National Library of Wales to somewhere else,as its such an out of the way place to get to. As for Travelling in 1873,There was only the Railways for High Speed Travel. Higher than what a Horse Travelled at that is,or "Shanks Pony". Cheers,Graham. -- Graham Williams.of Canton,Cardiff.
