There will be implications for CR too I am sure.
Loco exchanges? not likely to happen now this year or in the foreseeable future I fear.
We ALL need to go to the TR and spend some money I think!

This sad and worrying news.
Earlier in the year I went to the Talyllyn Railway to have a look. Usually I spend money in the shop at Wharf, but was disappointed to see the stock had not changed since the year before - there was nothing new. So I spent nothing...
The museum continues to be fantastic though.
And while the journey on the TR is nice it doesn't change year-on-year so I didn't ride either. Seeing Dolgoch in red and Talyllyn in black was great though.
Perhaps the TR could be re-invigorated if they had some of these?

Ian and Richard made a number of point about changes on the TR. The thing is that when the TR does do things that might attract extra business it doesn't do...
Actually, I was disappointed that the TR did not embrace the idea of the railway's first visiting steam loco and build a gala day round it - although the...

Ian, these points were responding to Michael, who had specifically said that the northern lines changed loco liveries and carriage interiors while the Talyllyn...

Of course, we should remember that it is a Preserved railway and not a development company. So in a way it 'shouldn't' change. There are elements of history...
I agree 100%. A real missed opportunity to both CR and TR. As there is so much affection for the TR being the worlds first etc. I am sure a national appeal in...
