The Cambrian Coast Express was a named passenger train of the Great Western Railway that ran from Paddington Station (London) to Aberystwyth and Pwllheli over the Cambrian Line.

The last named train ran in 1991.

Running three days a week throughout August is a 'Cambrian Coast Express' steam service, operated by Arriva Trains Wales, which operates as far as Porthmadog where passengers can alight and have time to wander around the town or perhaps travel on the Ffestiniog Railway.
