The Vale of Rheidol Light Railway in 2006

Capel Bangor railway station is on the seasonal Vale of Rheidol Railway. Unlike most other preserved railways in the United Kingdom, the Vale of Rheidol Railway did not have a period of closure between its being part of the national rail system and becoming a heritage railway, and so has operated a continuous service for residents and tourists. Capel Bangor decreased in size during the 20th century. Bed and breakfast accommodation is available on one of the working farms. Both public houses, the Tynllidiart Arms and the Maes Bangor Arms are closed.

In the 2011 census, the population was 256, with 63% born in Wales.[1]
