Easter Family Fun Day held at Cynheidre

The Llanelli and Mynydd Mawr Railway held an Easter themed Family Fun Day on 27th April 2019.

Almost one hundred visitors attended and highlights included:

• Train rides behind Sentinel diesel 10222 over an extended running line. The running line is now nearly 1/3 mile in length, with a further stretch likely to be opened later in the year

• An Easter trail for children to take part in by searching for clues to the questions on their trail sheet, with a chocolate egg as the prize

• The opportunity to purchase tea coffee and snacks in our ever popular static buffet carriage

• Static display of our new locomotive, local celebrity 08 shunter No. 08 795 recently transferred from Landore depot in Swansea and now permanently preserved at the L&MMR. We hope to launch this into service at a further enthusiast day later in the year

• Opportunities to view the rest of the railways fleet which is under restoration on site

• A guided Nature trail in association with Carmarthenshire Wildlife Walks

The railway is next open on Saturday 25th May when we will be holding a half-term family fun day at Cynheidre with plenty going on to entertain the whole family.
