Trains running in the garden on Saturday 4th and Sunday 5th July from 10.30am until the last Talyllyn train arrives back at Tywyn Wharf station. Held in conjunction with the Talyllyn Have-a-Go Gala where Talyllyn Railway visitors may also take the opportunity to have a go learning the ropes for firing or driving a steam hauled train, driving a diesel, guarding a train or being a Blockman (signalman) or Station Master.

On the Saturday there will also be an evening Bar at Wharf Station and an evening train ride. Further details are now available here.

Please ask platform staff at Tywyn Wharf station for directions to the garden railway. Do not cross the running lines to get to the layout unless supervised by Talyllyn Railway staff.

    Hiya, i’m planning to come down there in the 5th of July, but I was wandering. What time does the open day end because all day means nothing to me (sorry). So can you please reply and tell me the time it finishes, cheers

    Good question – I’ve passed your enquiry on to the folks who know.

    Officially, it ends when the last Talyllyn train arrives back at Tywyn Wharf (5.10pm in the blue timetable). It’s likely, though, that people may keep on steaming for rather longer than that, at least if the weather is decent.

  • Regular Running

    Subject to the weather and individual availability, there is usually someone in Llechfan Garden most Sundays through the year, and Thursday evenings through the summer months, but we cannot guarantee that the railway will be operating as maintenance and improvement of the garden and railway is an ever present task.
