In a New Year’s Eve post on its Facebook page the railway said: “We are ending the year with some more great news. 

“ We are delighted to announce that Llangollen and Corwen Railway are finalists in the 2024 Heritage Railway Association Awards. 

“We have been shortlisted for the Infrastructure Award for our magnificent station at Corwen. The Heritage Railway Association Awards will be held in February. 

“We have also been nominated for the Steam Railway Magazine Award which is voted for by the public, so we would be very grateful for everyone's support in voting for Corwen via the link below. There are some excellent finalists and the top spot will be hotly contested. 

“Our brand new island platform, heritage-style station, has been hand built by volunteers with an average of 60+, which is a phenomenal achievement by all concerned.”
