Flying Scotsman… Birkenhead Flyer… Santa Special?
Meet Paul Evans, one of our fantastic volunteers, who lifts the lid on this proud railway tradition and explains how he and Iain Ross are keeping it alive here at the Llangollen and Corwen Railway.
In today’s video, Paul is busy buffing up our Santa Special headboard, getting it gleaming and ready for the magical Christmas season ahead. It’s a wonderful glimpse into the craftsmanship, pride and heritage that make our railway so special.

🚂❤️ Heritage, tradition and a whole lot of Christmas sparkle, all made possible by our incredible volunteers. ... See MoreSee Less
Today at the Llangollen and Corwen Railway we were deeply honoured to welcome Michael, the son of our late friend and colleague Fred Horaczeck, who many will remember as one of our much-loved P-Way operatives.
Michael visited the railway to present a substantial donation collected in Fred’s memory, a touching gesture that reflects just how highly Fred was regarded by everyone who knew him.
Fred was one of the great characters of our railway – hard-working, full of humour, and utterly dedicated to keeping our line safe and running. His presence is still felt across the track he cared for so lovingly.
We are incredibly grateful to Michael, the family, and to all who contributed.
Fred’s legacy lives on along every mile of our railway, and this donation will support the work he believed in so deeply.
Thank you, Michael – and thank you, Fred.
Once a railway man, always a railway man. 🚂❤️ ... See MoreSee Less
Bore Da!
It’s a rather wet and miserable day in the Dee Valley today and we are not running trains this weekend. But we’re not letting that dampen our spirits!
We are excited and busy getting everything ready for our Christmas Season, which start in just TWO WEEKS. The baubles are being dusted off and the elves are ironing their outfits. 🧝 🎄 🤩
We are running Santa Specials, Sion Corn, The Snowman and Mince Pie Specials over the festive season, offering something for everyone.
🎅 🎟️ are sellling out 💨 with limited availability on many trains and some sold out.
Visit llangollen-railway.co.uk/book/ to book your place on a festive season day out to remember.
Something to look forward to along with sparkling decorations, the smell of steam and mulled wine and hopefully some nice dry, bright and cold winter days with beautiful sunsets like we had back in Llangollen in 2023.
