Join us in continuing to create history on our inaugural train over the scenic Cambrian Coast line on Friday 17th April.

We are proud to announce a celebration express train, The Cambrian Coast Express from Birmingham to the Talyllyn Railway at Tywyn, on the Cambrian Coast to celebrate this preservation milestone featuring:

  • Double-headed Class 37 English Electric Diesel locomotives
  • Double-headed Talyllyn Railway special train with both original locomotives: No. 1 Talyllyn and No. 2 Dolgoch (further details TBC)
  • Our English Electric Type 3 diesel 37240 will haul our train from Widney Manor
  • From Shrewsbury to Pwllheli (and return) our train will be hauled by one of Network Rail’s class 97 English Electric Type 3 diesels double heading with our own 37240, calling at Tywyn for the Talyllyn Railway.
  • The excellent Narrow Gauge Railway Museum at Tywyn Wharf will be open for passengers

The Talyllyn Railway Preservation Society was formed in Birmingham in May 1951 and we are proud to be connected with this pioneer organisation through our own founder, Pat Whitehouse who was the first secretary to the TRPS and so involved with the voluntary preservation railway movement from the outset, later going on to found our charity Vintage Trains Charitable Trust.
