Llangollen Railway to extend.
 

Saw this and thought some of you might be interested. http://news.bbc.co.uk/local/northeas...00/9385548.stm Nice to have some good news for once.

Regards, 62440.

Thanks for the link 62440. This is indeed good news, especially as I have bought a few shares to help it happen!

The people of Corwen are very keen for the railway to arrive. The railway will then run between two large centres of population.

Best wishes,

John H-T.

Very good news and congratulations to all involved. It's an investment that will help to attract many more visitors.
There's long been talk of reopening the stretch from Llangollen to Ruabon through Trevor and Acrefair but sadly more of a pipedream than a reality I think.

That is nothing short of brilliant.

For anyon who's interested in the historical perspective there's an excellent publication by the "Scenes From The Past 9: Railways of North Wales" published by Foxline.

Please pardon my enthusiasm, but as a youngster I attended Ysgol Dinas Bran in Llangollen during the 60's and daily witnessed the crass act of vandalism as the tracks were lifted. (nuff said ;) :))

This sounds good - I've a good friend who lives in Carrog; I feel a holiday brewing.... :)

Relatively speaking. Population or Corwen = 2,398 - hardly a metropolis !

It is for North Wales!
