    Not helped by passengers not being allowed on the middle van or the Llangollen end brake van. And the Corwen end van can only take passengers when it is the leading van (Guess they don't want the Guard distracted by passengers).

    Yes, I was on the 10:05. And enjoying a beer* at Glyndyfrdwy as the Brakevan train departed towards Llangollen. Late running trains meant a longish wait at Glyn for the next train to Llang, but there are worse places to wait.:D Classic bus ride...

    A little moment of history today as 1369 took the first goods train (excluding engineering ones) to Corwen since before this section of line's closure in 1965. Doubled up as a test run for both loco and the recently refurbished wagons ahead of...

    I wouldn't go that far; I reckon (as a total amateur at brick arch bridges, admittedly) that after the proposed work, it should be good to go for another century or so - then repeat the process (perhaps ad infinitum). Why do I say that? As I...
