To celebrate 75 years of the Talyllyn Railway becoming the World’s First Preserved Railway, we are hosting some special Photographic Charters under the name of Photo CharTRs!
These photographic days are designed for anyone to get involved, if you’re just starting out on your photographic journey or have been to a thousand charter days – everyone is welcome.
Our charters, led by photographer & TR Volunteer Nathan Spence, aim to re-create moments in time from the TR’s rich and lengthy 160+ year history.
To be able to run these charters, we require a minimum amount of bookings at least 1 month before the charter is due to take place, if you want to ensure that these run then please book sooner rather than later and share to your friends and other places of interest!
We hope you can join us for some of these amazing photographic days!
