The Aberystwyth Cliff Railway is a funicular railway in Aberystwyth, Ceredigion, Wales. Opened in 1896, it is the longest funicular railway in the United Kingdom. Originally operated on a water balance system, it was electrified in 1921. The standard gauge 1,435 mm railway climbs 130 m in 237 m, a gradient steeper than 1:2 (50%). Its twin carriages, which both take 30 passengers, are named the Lord Geraint and the Lord Marks.
