Today, the scenic LLangollen Railway runs 10 miles from the Ruabon Junction to the former Barmouth Road, which was absorbed into the Western Great Railway in 1877. The line was initially opened to cargo traffic to Llangollen in December 1861, with the start of passenger services in early June of the following year.
The current day section of the heritage line was opened to Corvin for passage on 1 May 1865, at which time a larger and more central station was built in Langulin. The closure was filed by British Real Wise in 1964 as a result of Dr.
Peching's infamous report commissioned by the government today to study the rationalization of Britain's rail network. In the early 1960s, standard railways were maintained in Britain, although there were a number of concerns about maintaining and operating the narrow scale in Wales.
The idea of a dedicated band of enthusiasts to restore and operate services was no longer commercially viable. Of the line already fixed.
The beginnings of the county association originated in this corner of Wales in 1975 when the entire process, which eventually led to what exists today, began with the humble attendance of a group of enthusiastic volunteers who took over the filling of the Llangollen station in order to begin the process of restoration and reconstruction. Over the following years, progress has been made in the gradual extension of the line, from initial operation within the station boundary in Langolin, to Kourouen, where a temporary station is in use while a new terminal is being built for this purpose.
The Llangollen railway site as one of Britain's leading heritage lines is clear to see from the photographs included in this edition of the Recollections series of publications, which embody the nature of this preserved portion of the former Great Western Railway in Wales.
