Sunday August 20th will see passenger trains operating on the revived section of the Corris Railway, leaving Corris station for Maespoeth Junction, seventy five years to the day from when the last service ran on the original line between Machynlleth and Aberllefenni.
However thanks to the efforts of the Corris Railway Society a works train headed by a small diesel locomotive worked into Corris station and passenger trains resumed in 2002.
He was the son of the last regular footplate man on the old line and took an interest in the revival including visiting the Open Day at the workshops of Alan Keef Ltd in 2022 where he stepped aboard the footplate of the next new steam loco being built for the Corris Railway.
