Visitors enjoy railway's autumnal steam delights

Trains over the weekend at Llangollen Railway were steam-hauled, to the delight of visitors.

The GWR loco No.3802 was back in action after its trip to Loughborough for the seasonal gala event for rail fans at the Great Central Railway.

On yesterday's Remembrance Sunday the engine was suitably decorated with a poppy wreath and commemorative headboard.  

The train timetable was adjusted to accommodate the Remembrance service in Llangollen and passengers enjoyed a lovely sunlit journey down the Dee Valley when the autumnal colours were at their best.

The next trains will operate on Saturday December 4 when the heritage railway's Santa Season begins.

Essential engineering work will now commence in Llangollen station.
