The Llangollen Railway (Welsh: Rheilffordd Llangollen) is a volunteer-run heritage railway in Denbighshire, North Wales, which operates between Llangollen and Corwen. The standard gauge line, which is 10 miles (16 km) long, runs on part of the former Ruabon – Barmouth GWR route that closed in 1965. It operates daily services in the summer as well as weekends throughout the winter months, using a variety of mainly ex-GWR steam locomotives as well as several diesel engines and diesel multiple units.
A 2+1⁄2 miles (4 km) extension of the railway has been built to complete the line to Corwen.[1]
In March 2021 the railway company announced that, having made a loss in three consecutive years, they had invited their bank to appoint receivers.[2] Operation of the railway was handed over to the Llangollen Railway Trust, and the line reopened July 2021.[3]
