We found the Talyllyn and the teams on duty as welcoming and engaging as ever. Covid measures were evidently in place and adhered to. The carriages and locos were spotless and the journey up the line... See more

A railway is a railway (30 years in track design). In these difficult times I wish to try and convey the care and the personal touches with which my family and I were treated. The service was brilliant, pre-order the cream tea, and a lovely lady emails you personally for your drinks order! Its very clean place to visit. The carriages are separated internally, that's your compartment!!! and off you go! Will come back when you can walk at the top of the line, but for now great day out.

Very safe

Very safe, and a very welcoming railway. Even the General Manager was out and about on the platform talking to visitors and making sure all was well. Highly recommended.

Wonderful

A wonderful example of a small organisation and its people pulling out all the stops to give customers an experience which very closely resembles a non-coronavirus situation, but with all the safety measures in place. Brilliant. I would recommend it to anybody. The staff were a delight.

Lovely day out

Lovely day out. The whole day was very well-organised, Covid notwithstanding. Food from the cafe was good. All of the staff and volunteers were friendly and helpful. Thank you.

Amazing day out

We come to talyllyn frequently with our 3 children 2 of whom have additional needs. We are always welcomed and absolutely love coming here. They really go the extra mile to make you feel welcome.

Giving the limitations with Covid-19 they are doing a great job,

I great journey in our own compartment behind Tom Rolt.

The only slight downside is the lack of accessible disabled parking at the Wharf Station,

Still the friendly Talyllyn in these odd times

The Talyllyn have done a really good job of putting safety measures in place but keeping the friendly quintessentially Talyllyn experience. The trains almost feel like private charters and the cream tea set out at Abergynolwyn is a must, a very good value add-on.
