LLANGOLLEN RAILWAY (GWR) LOCO GROUP

MIDSUMMER LANDCRUISE – Thursday 26 June 2008

 

The recently restored GWR 0-6-2T No.5643 from the Lakeside Railway will provide the motive power for this year’s Midsummer Special on the Llangollen Railway.

 

The train will depart Llangollen at 19.00 hrs heading for Carrog with photo stops en route. During the course of the lay over at Carrog driver experience sessions will be available to raffle prize winners and the train will return to Llangollen for approx. 21.30 hrs.

 

Additionally, a draw of adult ticket holders will take place to award footplate opportunities for each of the stages of the journey. Winners will be announced in advance of the evening and foot plate passes will be issued subject to the Rules and Regulations of the Llangollen Railway plc.

 

Cost of tickets for this special occasion is £7.50 adult, £4 child – no unaccompanied children. A special ticket and train itinerary will be provided. No dogs please.

 

Ticket availability will be limited by safety considerations at photo stops and early booking is advisable. Please note that cheques will not be cashed until minimum numbers have been achieved to ensure viability of the train.

Profits from the running of this special train will help towards the cost of restoring Prairie tank locomotive No 5532.
