There is a dedicated rail linc bus that links with the train. It is only available to rail passengers, and operates to Maesycwmmer, Pontllanfraith, and Blackwood. ==History== Ystrad Mynach railway station was on the Rhymney Railway, enacted in 1855 and opened in 1858. It consisted of staggered platforms on the main line, as well as a separate platform on the Dowlais line. Nearby Penallta Junction gave access to the Great Western Railway and the Aberdare Valley, opened 1 April 1871 and the Cylla branch opened on 1 August 1906 to access the new Powell Duffryn owned Penallta Colliery. The latter line closed in 1991 and has since been lifted, but the former is still in use (for freight only) as far as Cwmbargoed to serve the coal washery and associated opencast mine at Ffos-Y-Fran.〔(Cwmbargoed Disposal Point ) Miller Argent ''Investing in Wales'' website article; Retrieved 2013-09-11〕 Coal from there is sent to Aberthaw Power Station in bulk trainloads. The northbound platform is signalled for use in both directions, to permit trains from Cardiff to terminate & start back from there. Ystard Mynach railway station was used as a location in the pilot episode of Porridge (Prisoner and Escort), part of the series Seven of One, starring Ronnie Barker. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ystrad Mynach railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
