We're pleased to see that Trafnidiaeth Cymru Trenau Transport for Wales Rail has completed works at Abergele & Pensarn in N Wales to turn disused space into rooms for the community - we awarded a grant to support this work. This complements work by Wales & Borders // Cymru a'r Gororau to restore platform shelters , which we also supported.


A reminder that this Friday to Sunday it’s the Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railways Platinum Jubilee Weekend celebrations. On Sunday morning join us for “200 WHEELS ON THE COB”: 25+ FR steam locos & more are being cavalcaded to Porthmadog, with live commentary from Anthony Coulls & me
