BRIEF HISTORY OF THE MAWDDWY RAILWAY
'The Mawddwy Railway' was a 6.75 mile long branch line from the main Cambrian Railway (still open) at Cemmes Road with intermediate stations at Cemmaes, Aberangell and Mallwyd. Although the area was Cemmaes, the junction station was known as Cemmes Road. The branch opened in 1867 and closed to passengers in 1901, closing completely in 1908.

The line reopened 31st July 1911 as a light railway supported by several local councils. The GWR eventually took over the line and passenger services finally ended in 1931 although the line remained open for freight until the early 1950's. The line ran through several remote communities in the Upper Dovey Valley and was never going to attract enough business to be viable. The situation wasn't helped by the terminus at Dinas Mawddwy being located about half a mile from the village centre, the local terrain making it all but impossible to get it any closer.

Dinas Mawddwy station served the Minllyn Slate Quarry with a short tramway running from the station to the processing mill at the base of a steep incline down from the quarry on the hillside above.
