Behind The Scenes

March 30 March 31

Uncover the secrets beyond closed doors; a chance to see behind the scenes at the Talyllyn Railway.

A weekend to kick off the year, with plenty for all the family! Travel by train to Abergynolwyn, where there will be activities for children to enjoy: take a peek behind the scenes in the blockpost, or have your photo taken with the Easter Bunny. Take time out for a cup of tea and a cake from the cafe, as you watch the trains. You can also take an unusual opportunity to have a special short ride behind diesel loco No.9 ‘Alf’, who usually only pulls goods trains. Don’t forget to take part in our i-Spy quiz on the railway, as you travel to and from Abergynolwyn. Extra trains will be running, giving you plenty of opportunities to break your journey and enjoy your day.
