    As from this weekend, Llangollen is now running trains daily until October. Midweek there is normally one steam loco in service working 3 return trips dep. Llan 1100, 1300 and 1500. Weekends there is a second service operated dep. Llan 1030, 1200, 1400 and 1600. This will generally be a railcar but on Sat 10 D5310 is rostered and On Sun 4 / Mon 5 a second steam loco is rostered.

    We also have a selection of events during this month, all listed within the NP Calender and on the Unofficial Facebook Group which is managed by the lines volunteers http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=61796596150&ref=search&sid=756790330.1683739669..1

    First up is the Dee Valley Railcar Tour, where one of the DMU Groups' units will operate instead of the steam, with an onboard guide who will point out areas of interest and provide a history of the area. No advance booking is required and standard fare apply. Dates are Monday 12 and 26.

    Next is our second Real Ale Train for 2010 on the 17. Dep. Llan at 1830 enjoy 2 round trips sampling a selection of ales from the Stonehouse Brewery. Tickets are £10 per person and includes a souvenir glass with your first pint free.
    Call the office on 01978 860979 for further details, or book tickets online at https://www.instantticketseller.com/llangollen-railway

    Next is Branchline week from 19-22, where 6430 will operate in Auto-sandwich mode to Timetable A subject to availability. Normal Fares apply and no advance booking is required.

    Then we have the Corwen / Patriot Gala from 23 to 25. The aim is to raise funds for the Corwen Extension and help promote the Patriot Project at the same time. All of the lines home fleet will be in service alongside a guest engine.
    Keep an eye on http://railways.national-preservati...n-Railway-23rd-25th-April?p=337611#post337611 for further details.

    If you want any further information please feel free to ring the office on 01978 860979 or ask on here and one of the Llan volunteers will answer as best we can.
