Brecon Mountain Railway runs heritage steam trains from Pant, near Merthyr Tydfil, into Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park. The line follows part of the former Brecon and Merthyr Railway through the Taf Fechan valley and alongside the reservoir to Torpantau.

The return journey uses all-weather observation carriages and includes time at Pontsticill Station, where passengers can visit the Lakeside Café, enjoy reservoir views and use the children’s play area. Pant Station has tearooms, a gift shop and railway workshops. Dogs are welcome, and adapted facilities include ramps, accessible toilets and a wheelchair carriage; visitors should confirm requirements when booking. The railway operates a seasonal timetable with additional special journeys.
