*Support I added the railway station entry. The name is derived from a nearby colliery, which in turn derived from the Welsh locality. --EZ-SpelChek 03:23, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

Interestingly enough, you can't get to Ebbw Vale (the real one) on the train at all. There is no railway station there. Telsa 12:29, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

message: According to the page for the Sydney Harbour Bridge, the imported steel came from Middlesborough, not Ebbw Vale.  Is there a reference that supports either claim?  AndyCunningham 10:53, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

message: "Ebbw Vale contains many secret underground tunnels that run through the Black Mountains (the Black Mountains are nowhere near Ebbw Vale). They were used during World War 2 to export iron, coal and other materials outside the area."
This quote makes no sense at all either Ebbw Vale is near the Black mountains or it does not, in which case more explanation is needed in to how ebbw vale can contain tunnels under mountains which ae so far apart from the town Franz-kafka 15:47, 28 April 2007 UTC)—
There are old tunnels that join Ebbw Vale to other towns like Tredegar and Nantyglo - these go back to the time of the iron industry - and, of course, the vast network of coal mines in South Wales meant that it used to be possible to travel vast distances underground. However, the Black mountains lie far to the northwest of Ebbw Vale. Coal and steel would have travelled south for export, to Newport, via a railway running at the bottom of the narrow valley. I think this claim about the tunnels linking Ebbw Vale to the Black Mountains needs referencing or removal.81.153.122.232 15:38, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

message: A friend of mine recently told me that her Grandfather was born in Ebbw Vale, but that he always maintained he was not a Welshman because at the time (1919, I think) the border was in a different place, and Ebbw Vale was in England!  Personally I find this hard to believe.  Any comments, please? Hogyn Lleol 08:06, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

message: Mark Williams the snooker player is from Cwm but in his infobox it states that Cwm is in Ebbw Vale which I think is incorrect. Please can you comment on this on his talk page. Thanks. Rodney Baggins (talk) 12:03, 18 December 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Have commented, thanks. I don't think Williams or Victor Spinetti should be included in the list of "Notable people" here. Martinevans123 (talk) 12:26, 18 December 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks Martin. I've just updated Mark's page. I won't interfere with the Ebbw Vale article, if you want to remove Mark from the notable people list yourself? Rodney Baggins (talk) 18:24, 5 January 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Ok. For now I've just made them consistent. Cwm is three miles away, but many people will see it as "Ebbw Vale"  Happy to wait for a third opinion. Martinevans123 (talk) 18:37, 5 January 2019 (UTC)
