Quakers Yard railway station serves the village of Edwardsville in the community of Treharris, Merthyr Tydfil, Wales.

[1] Isambard Kingdom Brunel built the Goitre Coed Viaduct, which was opened in 1841; its height is approximately 100 ft.

[citation needed] Two more viaducts existed at the north end of Edwardsville, which were demolished shortly after the Beeching cuts of the 1960s.

The main reason for their demolition was subsidence and the viaducts had been strengthened with huge wooden supports for a number of years.

This section of the Taff Trail includes the original stone sleepers from Edwardsville towards Pontygwaith and beyond towards Mount Pleasant, where Richard Trevithick ran the first ever steam locomotive to run on rails and the first to carry passengers in 1804.

[citation needed] Trains run every half-hour each way: north to Merthyr Tydfil and south to Pontypridd & Cardiff Central.

It was called this after the late Mr Edmund Edwards, who was chairman of the meeting and the proprietor of the Great Western Hotel.

Recently, Edwardsville has expanded below the main road, with new houses filling the space of the previous high-level station.
