Heritage railway ends the year on a festive note | So Good News

Trains will leave Corris railway station at 11.00am, 12.30pm, 2.00pm and 3.30pm and advance ticket sales are recommended by going online to corris.co.uk

Railway Society chairman Richard Foyn said significant progress had been made on a number of fronts by volunteers and partners, after two years of disruption caused by Covid.

He said the first quarter saw a key part of improvements to Corris station completed with a new platform and track layout, which included a traverse to allow locomotives to run around their trains.

Work has continued on an embankment south of Maespoeth Junction which will eventually allow passengers a longer journey along the Dulas Valley

“This part of our work depends on funding and the availability of suitable materials, machinery and qualified operators, so there is inevitably a halting start, but progress has been steady and is satisfactorily visible,” he said.

“All this has been achieved by a small number of volunteers and we would like to welcome more to the ranks.”
