The Talyllyn Railway Preservation Society was formed in Birmingham in October 1950 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.
To celebrate this connection and the Talyllyn’s 75th Anniversary of the world’s first volunteer run train service, join us as we create history by running our inaugural train over the scenic Cambrian Coast line this April.
The Cambrian Coast Express will take passengers from the Midlands to Tywyn and Pwllheli on the Cambrian Coast, featuring;
- Double headed Class 37 English Diesels
- Double headed Talyllyn Railway special train with both original locomotives: No. 1 Talyllyn and No. 2 Dolgoch
- 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
