The Gwili Railway is pleased to give advance notice of its ‘Anything Goes’ Gala, which will take place on Sunday 29 September. The gala will provide an opportunity to enjoy an intensive service between Bronwydd Arms and Llwyfan Cerrig stations, and will be the last enthusiast-orientated event to take place before our Carmarthen extension is opened in spring 2014.
Star billing will go to our two ‘Austerity’ 0-6-0Ts, ‘Haulwen’ and ‘Welsh Guardsman’, and it is anticipated that both will be in operation, subject to availability. Current Gala plans incorporate regular ‘double-heading’ following passenger feedback from previous events, with both ‘Austerities’ working hard on the gradient between Bronwydd Arms and Llwyfan Cerrig. It is also believed to be the first such pairing of ‘Austerities’ to take place on the railway.
Further attractions under consideration for the Gala will include the chance to see some of the railway’s diesel fleet in action, with the steam service supplemented by our Class 117 DMU. There will also be an opportunity to drive our Class 03 shunter within the confines of Bronwydd Arms Station for £5 (subject to availability), visit trade stands, savour the atmosphere in our popular Gwili Buffet, and ride our miniature railway at Llwyfan Cerrig.
This shall be an exciting opportunity to see the railway and the majority of its stock Including the Vintage coaches and speak to the railway about the Carmarthen Extension
“Although the Gala attractions listed are subject to change at this early stage in the planning process, all information correct at time of writing. It is our intention to make further periodic announcements as our plans for the Gala continue to develop”.
For further information, please contact: Gwili Railway, The Railway Station, Bronwydd Arms, Carmarthen, SA33 6HT or telephone 01267 238213.
