Caiff y ffigurau hyn eu cyhoeddi wrth i'r Dirprwy Weinidog Diwylliant, Chwaraeon a Thwristiaeth, yr Arglwydd Elis Thomas, agor yn swyddogol ddatblygiadau newydd fel rhan o brosiect newydd gwerth £2.2 miliwn yn Aberystwyth. Mae'r prosiect yn Rheilffordd Cwm Rheidiol wedi'i gyllido drwy raglen Cyrchfannau Denu Twristiaeth Croeso Cymru a ariennir gan yr UE. Cam cyntaf y prosiect yw agor Gorsaf Dreftadaeth Great Western sydd yn y dull Edwardaidd. Fel rhan o gam nesaf y prosiect bydd hen safle Aberystwyth yn cael ei ailddatblygu er mwyn creu swyddfa docynnau newydd a sied storio cerbydau. Bydd hyn yn diogelu'r casgliad amhrisiadwy o gerbydau rheilffordd hanesyddol ac yn eu gwarchod at y dyfodol.
The figures were published as Deputy Minister for Culture Sport and Tourism, Lord Elis Thomas, officially opened new developments as part of a £2.2 million project in Aberystwyth. The project at Vale of Rheidol Railway has been funded, with EU assistance, through Visit Wales Tourism Attractor Destination programme. The first phase of the project is the opening of a new Edwardian style Great Western heritage Station. The next phase will see the old Aberystwyth terminus site re-developed to include a new booking office and carriage storage shed which will be built to allow the priceless collection of historic railway carriages to be stored in a protected environment and aid their long term conservation.
