Glyn Jones was elected chairman. The secretary is Susan Fowler, Greenacres, Comins Coch, Aberystwyth, Ceredigion. Tel: 01970 615665.
The upsurge of interest in the area was welcomed by RDS general secretary Trevor Garrod who outlined issues being pursued by the society throughout Britain. Most of these, reopenings, staffing or rolling stock, had relevance to this part of Wales.
David Williams, development officer of the Cambrian Railways Promotion Partnership, explained the successful measures, from cheap fares to an inter-school football competition, being taken to generate new business.
George Moore of Central Trains promised talks with the new branch on its ideas for rail improvements.
The Cambrian Lines branch covers the counties of Montgomery, Ceredigion and most of Merionydd, and is responsible for the Shrewsbury-Aberystwyth and Machynlleth-Pwllheli lines as well as liaison with local preserved lines.

Rail users are encouraged to join Railfuture to help us campaign for a bigger and better railway - membership for individuals is just £20 per year
Railfuture is an independent, voluntary group representing rail users in Britain with 20,000 affiliated and individual members. It is not funded by train companies, political parties or trade unions, and all members have an equal say.
Railfuture campaigns for cheap and convenient rail services for everyone; better links for buses, bikes and pedestrians; policies to get more heavy lorries on to rail; new lines, stations and freight terminals. In short, a better rail service and a bigger rail system for both passengers and freight.
Railfuture is pro-rail but not anti-road or anti-air. However, we campaign for a switch from road and air to rail. We do not interfere in the running of the railway - we campaign for the quality and range of services provided, not how they are delivered. We are the only champion of all rail users.
