So glad that the trains are back…
So glad that the trains are able to run again! So well organised and everything in place for a safe and enjoyable trip. Each pre-booked party gets their own private compartment, separated from the others by screens. The COVID precautions taken made us feel very safe and comfortable on our visit. Lots of friendly people around to make sure you know where to go/what to do. We had a lovely trip and a great take away coffee and cake from the cafe! Thank you all.

A very good experience. We were made to feel welcome and the Covid control measures were very good. We enjoyed the railway and the short walk we had at the top.

We'll worth a visit.
We've been coming here since our children were little (our eldest is now 27) & never had a bad experience.
Well worth a visit.
Lovely staff & food.
Great to see it open again. We love hearing the engines 'poop' while we sit in our garden.

Purchase of Talyllyn control centre
Purchase of Talyllyn control centre: Good functionality, occasionaly trains seem to go off line when they are still on the track. Is there any way of listing the makeup of, eg, the engineers train?
