The Welshpool and Llanfair Light Railway runs for eight miles from Welshpool up some steep inclines through the Banwy Valley to the station at Llanfair Caereinion. The railway was opened in 1903 to link the rural communities surrounding Welshpool to the market town itself.

Facilities on the railway for wheelchair users are very good.

The friendly staff are on hand to offer assistance to board and one of the main carriages has wider doors to allow wheelchair access inside. Pre-booking will ensure a place is available on the day. (N.B. Some of the extra large powered wheelchairs may be too large for access to the carriages please ring for advice on 01938 810441).

There is a small museum exhibit and a shop at the Welshpool station and a tearoom and shop at Llanfair Caereinion.
