Announcement
The Vale of Rheidol Railway Limited have today applied to the Welsh Minister for an order under the Transport and Works Act 1992.
The application, draft Order and documents accompanying the Order can be found below and are able to be downloaded.
The Order, if granted, will authorise the Vale of Rheidol Railway Limited to operate and maintain the Brecon Mountain Railway pending the acquisition of the Brecon Mountain Railway Company’s assets by them.
The Order also clarifies the powers granted to the operator of the railway by omitting some of the now redundant provisions contained in the Brecon Mountain Railway (Light Railway) Order 1980 in recognition that the railway is now a fully operational railway.
The Order further provides for the transfer of the railway by the applicant.

Any objections to, or other representations about, the proposals in the application should be sent to the Welsh Minister c/o Planning and Environment Decisions Wales, Crown Buildings, Cathays Park, Cardiff CF10 3NQ and PEDW.casework@gov.wales.
An objection or other representation MUST (i) be received by the Welsh Minister on or before 4 March 2025, (ii) be made in writing (whether sent by post or e-mail), (iii) state the grounds of the objection or other representation, (iv) indicate who is making the objection or other representation, and (v) give an address to which correspondence relating to the objection or other representation may be sent. (If you are sending your objection or other representation by e-mail, please provide a postal address and state “Brecon Mountain Railway (Light Railway) Order” in the subject of the email).
