A number of passengers alighted at Tywyn for a special double-headed journey up the Railway with a Heart of Gold, re-joining the mainline train on their return.

On Friday we welcomed the #CambrianCoastExpress from Vintage Trains, this special mainline charter train was part of our 75th Anniversary celebrations as the World's First Preserved Railway.

Volunteers were kitted out in as-close-as-possible recreations of the uniform worn at the time, while No.2 'Dolgoch' was dirtied down and the smokebox brightwork painted black to match the period.
