This is a list of the stations and halts on the Vale of Rheidol Railway ({{lang-cy|Rheilffordd Cwm Rheidol}}), a {{RailGauge|1ft11.75in}} narrow gauge preserved railway line running for {{convert|11+3/4|mi|km|1}} from Aberystwyth on the Mid-Wales coast to Devil's Bridge in the Cambrian Mountains. The line was opened in 1902 to carry lead from the mines and timber for pit props down to the harbour in Aberystwyth. It has carried passengers since opening. RouteThe main terminus of the line is at {{stnlnk|Aberystwyth}}, where the railway's administrative headquarters and the workshops are located. Leaving this station the line travels eastwards towards the village of Llanbadarn Fawr. There is a request stop at {{stnlnk|Llanbadarn}}. Trains towards Devil's Bridge pause here briefly to activate the level crossing before proceeding. A short distance from Llanbadarn, the line passes over the River Rheidol on a timber trestle bridge. The line then passes the Glanyrafon Industrial Estate which has developed over the last 25 years before heading out into open countryside. After {{convert|4.5|mi|km}} {{stnlnk|Capel Bangor}} station is reached. There is a passing loop here and a station building. All trains stop here. Leaving Capel Bangor the line passes the Rheidol Riding Centre before it begins to climb steeply through the woods at Tanyrallt. After about 10 minutes the train reaches {{stnlnk|Nantyronen}} a small country station and request stop. Here locomotives take water from the water column before the train continues on the climb to Aberffrwd. {{stnlnk|Aberffrwd}} station is {{convert|7+1/2|mi|km|1}} from Aberystwyth, a journey time of approximately 40 minutes. There is a passing loop here and a station building. All trains stop here. Beyond Aberffrwd the line climbs at a gradient of 1 in 50 all the way to Devil's Bridge. This section of the line is isolated with no road access. The track sits on a ledge known as Pant Mawr and follows the contours of the terrain, passing through two request stops at {{stnlnk|Rheidol Falls}} and {{stnlnk|Rhiwfron}} before reaching Devil's Bridge.List of stations and halts
