⚠️ IMPORTANT SERVICE UPDATE ⚠️

Due to extremely high temperatures for the week ahead our coal-fired steam engines will be replace by oil-fired No. 9 and our diesel locomotive, to mitigate the associated fire risk.

No. 9 'Prince of Wales' will be hauling all 10:30 and 14:00 passenger services from Monday 22nd to Sunday 28th June, with Diesel No. 10 taking the 12:00 service from Tuesday 23rd to Thursday 25th June.

Last chance to book for this Saturday! 🥾

Leaving Nantyronen Station, 2006. In the 20 years since this photo was taken, Nantyronen has been completely transformed. The trees and overgrowth have been cleared, as well as the old permanent-way buildings which were built in 1979. A platform and waiting shelter were added in late 2013.

Gadael Gorsaf Nantyronen, 2006. Yn yr 20 mlynedd ers i'r llun yma cael ei dynnu, mae Nantyronen wedi trawsnewid yn llwyr. Mae'r coed a'r llwyni wedi eu clirio, yn ogystal a'r hen adeiladau cafodd eu codi ym 1979. Cafodd y gysgodfan a'r platfform presennol eu codi ar ddiwedd 2013.
