The Llangollen Railway will not run its usual service to allow staff and volunteers to attend Remembrance services.

The railway will not run its 10am service on November 10 to allow staff and volunteers to attend the Llangollen and Corwen town Remembrance services.

The 12.30pm and 2.45pm services from Llangollen, and the 1.35pm and 3.45pm services from Corwen will run as usual.

Veterans and serving military personnel can travel free on the 12.30pm Remembrance Train from Llangollen, and 1.35pm from Corwen.

Terry Pickthall, press officer, said: “Everyone at the railway felt it was important that we show our respect, support and love for those who have served our country to uphold our hard-won freedom and democracy.

"We have a number ex-service people amongst our staff and volunteers who have served with the British Army, Royal Navy and Air Force."

The railway also aims to raise funds for the Royal British Legion through the special train service.

Nicholas Collins, a volunteer with the Glyndyfrdwy Station Team, who recently got married on the railway, said: "Our railway has played an important part in various wars and remembering all the soldiers that travelled by train to war and never returned is important."

Visitors are encouraged to disembark at Berwyn and view the graffiti left by First World War servicemen under the bridge before they headed to France and Belgium.

Refreshments will be provided at the café, and visitors are encouraged to donate to the Royal British Legion’s Poppy Appeal.
