Pontyrhyl is situated near Garth railway station, a stop on the Maesteg Line that runs from Cardiff via Bridgend. The station serves the village of Garth and is part of the broader railway network in South Wales. The Garw Valley Railway, operating under the trading name of the Bridgend Valleys Railway Company Limited, runs a short section of 4 ft 8+1⁄2 in standard gauge track that is being recreated as a heritage railway. Originally part of the Llynvi and Ogmore Railway and built by the Great Western Railway, the line historically carried freight and passenger services. Much of the track remains between Brynmenyn and Pontycymer, and a train shed at Pontycymer supports the project. Initial plans include brake van rides between Pontycymer and Pant-y-Gog, a distance of 0.5 miles (0.8 km).
