SARPA is the local rail users group for the Shrewsbury to Aberystwyth line running from the English border through Montgomeryshire to the coast of North Ceredigion and ending up in the increasingly important University town of Aberystwyth. We exist to preserve and promote the line and a more sustainable transport system for future generations. SARPA is one of the more active rail user groups in Wales and meets monthly. We are continually campaigning on various issues from train times to station maintenance and welcome any comments anybody has about the rail service in Mid Wales.

We welcome Arriva Trains Wales and look forward to working with them. We are also pleased to note that a long term aim of SARPA's - an early arrival in Aberystwyth from east of Machynlleth than the current 1120 is promised by Arriva for implementation. Ten years of pressure from us (and others)- we can make a difference!
