Talyllyn Holiday
A fun-filled day trip on the "historic little Welsh railway" of Talyllyn
Overview
Full steam ahead! Four lovingly restored steam engines - Sir Haydn, Douglas, Dolgoch and Edward Thomas - travel the Talyllyn Railway to the accompaniment of Barry Lankester’s voiceover, which gently describes the development of the much-loved narrow gauge railway and the holiday delights it offers. The trains take their time, exuding the spirit of Ivor the Engine as they trundle along the tracks, puffs of steam disappearing behind them.
The Talyllyn Railway continues to thrive and celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2014.
