A TV film crew were at Llangollen Station earlier today (Tuesday) shooting sequences for a forthcoming episode of the popular BBC daytime series Escape to the Country.
The show features potential buyers searching for their dream homes in rural areas of the UK who are taken to look around three or four properties for sale, including a "mystery house," in their chosen region.
In this case the home-seekers were Glyn and Christina who were looking to move from their home in the Wiltshire town of Chippenham to somewhere in this area where they have friends and often visit.
Over the next few days they will be taken to see a variety of homes with a 30-mile radius of Llangollen.
As part of their tour of possible homes in couples are shown key attractions in the area where they are looking - and yesterday's stop-off was at Llangollen Station where they were greeted by the heritage railway's new trust manager, David Hennigan, who explained why they should move to Llangollen.
They also met other railway people, including David Shilliam who was acting as station master for the day.
Later this week the crew from Naked TV will be back filming more scenes in Llangollen for the episode, which they said will probably be aired in about 10 to 12 months time.
* The couple were given something to remind them of their visit to the statin - a toy trainset for their 'train mad' three-year-old son.
