The Cambrian Coast Express was a named passenger train of the Great Western Railway (GWR) that ran from London Paddington via Shrewsbury to Aberystwyth and Pwllheli over the Cambrian Line. Prior to amalgamation with the GWR in 1923, the line beyond Buttington Junction near Welshpool was owned and operated by the Cambrian Railways and passengers from England normally changed to a Cambrian Railways train at Shrewsbury. But in July and August 1921, the GWR ran a daily through express from Paddington to Aberystwyth and Pwllheli.
