Fabulous monumental scenery

Fabulous scenery, smiling helpful volunteers. An enjoyable safe experience. Maybe the views at the end could have been more exciting. Lovely cafe, the toilets couldn’t have been better organised re Covid safety. A bit pricey maybe.

In spite of the necessary covid…

In spite of the necessary covid precautions, the railway was running as well as ever, with friendly and helpful staff and a well turned out train and locomotive (no 7 on this occasion). The other train was hauled by an equally immaculate no 3. My wife and I had a very enjoyable trip, and a good lunch at the Wharf station cafe on our return. Because of covid, this was my first sight of working steam for 6 months, and could not have been more appropriate in this 70th anniversary year of railway preservation.

Thumbs up.

Everyone was really nice and friendly and did everything to make our trip enjoyable. Except providing good weather. Loved the fact we were hauled by a loco actually purchased for the railway when originally being set up. Carriage COVID partitioning good and discrete.

Covid safe trip not to be missed …

We have been on the Talyllyn Railway twice this week with my 3 year old son and neither trip disappointed. The staff are so friendly and genuinely happy to be there. It was 100% Covid safe and well managed by having a compartment per family. The sausage rolls and tea at Abergynolwyn Station aren’t to be missed either. Thanks again Talyllyn we will be back soon.
