160 YEARS ON

Today in 1865 the Talyllyn Railway received its Act of Parliament and officially opened!

And now, many years later, day 1 of our Anything Goes Gala has come to an end with a stunning quadruple header - with more to come tomorrow!!

Passing over Salthouse Road

Island Road Station

Cradle Bridge

Departing from Barrow Central

A 4F bringing a worker's commuter train to Island Road Station through Barrow-in-Furness. These were unadvertised services from Millom and Grange-over-Sands that terminated at Island Road station, serving the Vickers ship building yards.

Happy Birthday Thomas the Tank Engine!

Today is 80 years since the Reverend W. Awdry’s first Railway Series book.

A keen railway enthusiast, Awdry first visited the Talyllyn Railway in 1952. His experiences as a volunteer inspired the creation of the Skarloey Railway.

That's high praise indeed, and all of it still true 160 years later. Thank you to all those who've been taking care of her & the line, or it would have been lost to time. Mad respect to you!
