Jane Davidson, Welsh Assembly Government Environment, Sustainability and Housing Minister, launched the newest addition to the popular Cambrian Railways Poster collection on a recent visit to Machynlleth Railway Station.

The initial four posters launched in August 2008 have to date raised more than £1,200 for the Save the Machynlleth Clock Appeal and the Wales Air Ambulance.

The attractive new design is a montage of features and views that can be seen from the train journey on the Cambrian Coast Line.

The A2 posters are available for a minimum donation of £5 each from Machynlleth and Aberystwyth Railway Stations and at the Tourist Information Centre located on Barmouth Station.

Commenting on the initiative Ms Davidson said: "I would strongly encourage people to use this wonderful railway rather than the car to see the Cambrian Coast and bring down their carbon footprint. I hope initiatives like this will help fill the trains, not only cutting carbon emissions but providing a welcome boost to the tourism industry in Wales.

"I am also pleased that this initiative is raising funds for local charities."
