    I'm off on one of my roadtrips next week. My itinery is Talylyn/Festiniog/WHR/Bala/Llangollen/W&Llanfair/SVR diesel gala/G&WR/SVR again/Welshpool again/VoR/Gwlii. Anything I am missing in those general areas?

    (the repeated visits are due to many places not being open on the Monday

    Think I would have a look in at Oswestry/Tanat Valley on the way between Llangollen and Welshpool.

    Perhaps you could consider stopping off at the Teifi Valley Railway whilst en route to the Gwili? An update of what is going on re its regeneration would be appreciated by many readers.

    I've looked at all of them but unfortunately none of them are open on the available day in my schedule. I will look in at the Dean Forest quite possibly as their shop/café will be open and I will be more or less passing the Teifi so I may look in to see if anything is happening


    Telford I haven't looked at actually....will research that now.

    Well I'm home and will load some photo later. Managed Talylynn WHR and Festiniog twice each,a glimpse of Llangollen, a fantastic 16 mile round trip on the end balcony at Welshpool (a really underrated line....recommended) Severn Valley diesel gala one two days, looked in at Bala and Corris (both closed) VoR and Gwlii (Teifi closed ,in fact locked the gate as I arrived )
