As BlueSky has just hit 20mil users, we thought we'd introduce ourselves!
We're the Talyllyn Railway - running from Tywyn on the Welsh Coast up into the mountains towards Abergynolwyn & Nant Gwernol.
In 1951 we became the World's First Preserved #Railway, starting the Heritage Railway movement!

The fun hasn't stopped just yet, don't forget that we're running trains daily between Boxing Day and the 3rd January!
With departures from Tywyn Wharf at 10:30, 12:20 & 14:10 there's plenty of chance to wind down from the big day on one of these festive outings.
