Ebbw Vale Garden Festival Funicular

Gradients were 1:9 overall, with a maximum of 1:5 and flat areas at the end stations and passing loop.

The track layout was a conventional two rail funicular with a central passing loop.

If unbalanced in the descending direction, the winding motor could be used for regenerative braking and fed electricity back into the site supply, an advanced feature for the early '90s.

The stations were unstaffed and the automatic control was started via radio by the driver of the descending car.

Its track and rolling stock was British-built by WGH Ltd of Old Edlington, who were in the coal-mining area near Doncaster and experienced in cable railways.
