'Catch the BIG TRAINS to meet the Great Little Trains of Wales' Promotion Launched 06/04/2007

The Cambrian Railways Partnership has teamed up with some of the Great Little Trains of Wales (GLTW) to offer a 20% discount on standard day returns on the following railways:

• The Welshpool & Llanfair Light Railway
• Corris Railway & Museum
• Vale of Rheidol Railway
• Talyllyn Railway
• Fairbourne Railway
• Ffestiniog Railway
• Welsh Highland Railway Ltd (Porthmadog)

on display of a valid ATOC Cambrian Rail ticket.

As well as running train services many of the railways featured have additional facilities, amenities and attractions such as Museums, Shops, Cafés, Licensed Bars and provide access to wonderful countryside walks – adding up to a great day out.

The Cambrian Railway Lines directly connect Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton and Birmingham with the Cambrian Coast resorts including Aberystwyth, Tywyn, Barmouth and Porthmadog. The Cambrian Lines provide a stunning and contrasting coast and countryside rail journey through mid Wales that offer a convenient and environmentally friendly way of accessing the area and its attractions such as the narrow gauge railways.  

Ray Reid from the Talyllyn Railway, on behalf of the Great Little Trains of Wales participating in the promotion, stated "In the past the little trains carried goods to the big railways to be sent all over Britain. Now the big trains bring people from all over Britain to enjoy a ride on the little trains. GLTW is pleased to be associated with this promotion."

Gerwyn Jones on behalf of the Cambrian Railways Partnership commented "We are blessed in mid Wales with a wide variety of unique and charming narrow gauge railways. These have played an important role in the development of the area since Victorian times and today provide great visitor attractions in their own right – what better way to access them than on their bigger cousins on the Cambrian railway lines and in doing so benefiting from this 20% discount offer?"

To promote the offer a leaflet with further details has been produced and is being distributed across the mid Wales area, Shropshire and the West Midlands.
