Pant Station
Pant Station
This is the start of the Brecon Mountain railway LinkExternal link (Archive LinkExternal link ) with a ventilation shaft on the right of the station building. The line is disconnected from the rest of the rail network, so one must arrive by car or walk up from the bus stop.

'The section of line chosen for the Brecon Mountain Railway was part of the abandoned Brecon and Merthyr Railway, originally built in 1859 it finally closed in 1964. This Railway fought its way through the Brecon Beacons using steep gradients to the summit at Torpantau 1313 ft above sea level.'
