Ymgyrch Rheilffordd Gorllewin Cymru / West Wales Rail Campaign

Ail sefydlu’r rheilffyrdd rhwng Aberystwyth a Chaerfyrddin ac Afon Wen a Bangor

Re-establish the railways between Aberystwyth and Carmarthen and Afon Wen and Bangor

Why is this important?

Caewyd y rheilffyrdd yma yn y 1960au gan ynysu ardaloedd helaeth o Gymru. Mae angen eu ailagor i ailfywiogi'r ardaloedd maent yn rhedeg trwodd. Byddai eu hailagor yn helpu pobl leol i gymudo, yn hwyluso mynediad i wasanaethau iechyd, siopa ayyb, ac yn helpu myfyrwyr i fynychu prifysgolion yng Nghaerfyrddin, Llanbedr Pont Steffan, Aberystwyth a Bangor. Fe fyddai’n hwb i dwristiaeth yn yr ardal, ac yn lleihau'r nifer o gerbydau nwyddau trymion (megis pren, cynnyrch archfarchnad ayyb) o’r ffyrdd cul i’r rheilffordd, sy’n fwy diogel a chynaliadwy.

These lines were closed in the mid 1960's and have left these areas of Wales very isolated. They need to be reopened to reinvigorate the areas they pass through. The reopening would help local people with commuting, access health services, shopping, improve access to the universities served by the lines in Carmarthen, Lampeter, Aberystwyth and Bangor. New lines will also boost tourism in the area and enable much of the heavy commercial traffic (timber, supermarket goods etc.) to be shifted from narrow roads to rail, which is much safer and more sustainable.
