The Partnership
The Heart of Wales Line Community Rail Partnership exists to connect the
community to their railway line. To find out how we do this follow us on
Facebook and Instagram @heartwalesline
Recent projects have included:
• Providing wellbeing guided walks with groups like Mid
and North Powys Mind, and Unity in Diversity.
• Collecting people’s photos and memories of the line to celebrate
Railway 200 which will be displayed at Llandrindod Wells Railway
Station Waiting Room.
• A Successful funding bid from Powys County Council for 19
new planters installed at stations in Powys.
The Heart of Wales Line Community Rail Partnership (CRP) is an accredited
partnership. The accreditation system is administered by Community Rail
Network and applies to those CRPs operating in England and Wales.
It is a formal recognition by the Department for Transport (DfT) and Welsh
Government that a CRP operates to a high standard and with objectives and
activities that are supported by the Government.
A steering group for the Heart of Wales Line CRP guides and oversees the
partnership’s activities and business plan. The steering group is made up of
a wide range of member organisations and individuals including Transport
Operators, Local Government, Destination Management Organisations, Local
Businesses and County Voluntary Councils. We are funded by Transport
For Wales, although we are independent. Our host organisation is Powys
Association of Voluntary Organisations (PAVO). PAVO is the County Voluntary
Council for Powys, supporting the third sector across the county.
