If you're staying with us over the Easter weekend this looks like a great day at the railway!
Uncover the secrets beyond closed doors; a chance to see behind the scenes at the Talyllyn Railway!
A weekend to kick off the year, with plenty for all the family! Travel by train to Abergynolwyn, where there will be activities for children to enjoy: take a peek behind the scenes in the blockpost, or have your photo taken with the Easter Bunny. Take time out for a cup of tea and a cake from the cafe, as you watch the trains.
You can also take an unusual opportunity to have a special short ride behind diesel loco No.9 ‘Alf’, who usually only pulls goods trains. Don’t forget to take part in our i-Spy quiz on the railway, as you travel to and from Abergynolwyn. Extra trains will be running, giving you plenty of opportunities to break your journey and enjoy your day.
Full list of fun things happening:
- Easter craft activities for children at Abergynolwyn
- Appearances by the Easter Bunny at Abergynolwyn
- Open blockpost at Abergynolwyn station (specified times only)
- ‘I-Spy’ quiz (to do from the train)
- Short train rides in Abergynolwyn station limits, hauled by diesel No.9 ‘Alf’
- Blue timetable in operation, plus extra trains – seven departures a day from Wharf station.
- Extra diesel-hauled trains: 11.15 + 14.10 from Wharf, hauled by a Baguley diesel.
