A production team working on behalf of the BBC spent this morning (Saturday) at Llangollen and Corwen Railway recording views on the proposed Glyndwr National Park.
The controversial issue, which has split public opinion across the large area of north Wales it would occupy, will be the subject of a Radio Wales programme due to be broadcast in July.
Among those whose opinions were recorded by the team was former Llangollen Mayor and current town cryer Austin (Chem) Cheminais.
He spoke in favour of the park plan on the grounds of the extra resources it might be able to bring into Llangollen.
Taking the opposite view was another interviewee, llanblogger's Phil Robinson, who is also a town councillor.
He said the park would bring many more visitors into the town whose infrastructure - mainly the road system and parking provision - was already struggling to cope.
More interviews were recorded both on the platform at Llangollen and aboard the train as it headed towards Corwen.
