    I'm hoping to attend on the Saturday, currently awaiting timetable and other details publication.

    In the meantime I wondered if anyone had any thoughts about this event, if they had attended last year's event and what it was like?

    As far as getting there goes, I'm planning to get an early train (0642) from Nottingham to Ruabon (change Birmingham & Shrewsbury, arrive 0955) and then there appears to be a twice hourly bus service (Arriva no.5) from Ruabon station to near Llangollen station, looks like I can get there before 1100. Does that sound optimal?

    I've never been to the Llangollen railway before so any info is welcome.

    The Arriva no.5 bus does not go to Ruabon Station. You need to walk down Station Road to the main road & cross over.
    The T3 bus does stop at the station but only runs every 2 hours.

    Ah yes, I see. End of Station road, not at the station. About 2 minutes walk, that's fine.

    Thanks.
