The terminus will be at approximately 19m 70ch. A short funicular is being built to connect the station with the Town Centre apparently!

Funicular has only one track/car, which has now been delivered. When I visited last week track was in place over 3/4 of extension. Road/rail vehicles dumping ballast on track. Temp BS closer to Parkway, so more cautious approach.Platform at Ebbw Vale town being built on E side. I concur that BS will be at 19m 70c.
