Steam Train Ride
Enjoy a fabulous ride behind one of our Steam Engines up the Fathew Valley. For full information please consult the FAQ page on our website. We offer two options on our trains. Our ‘Talyllyn Steam Explorer’ tickets allow you to ‘hop on and hop off’ the trains. You will have a seat in a mixed area. Our compartments give you your own private area, with your own door and windows, you will not be sharing with any other passengers but you will be able to see and hear passengers in the compartment next to you. You will have to stay with the same train for the round trip. Two options are available, a standard compartment or a first-class compartment. All prebooked tickets start from Tywyn Wharf Station only. The Railway is committed to minimising its ecological impact and has invested in carbon offset projects to mitigate the annual coal use. If you would like to offset your own journey, then please select the ‘carbon offset’ option as an extra. It will add £1 to your ticket cost.

Steam Train Ride - 1st Class
For those wanting a special treat or to treat a special person, book and enjoy a luxurious journey along the Talyllyn Railway behind one of our steam locomotives, travelling on board one of our First Class Compartments. If there is a group of you travelling then book both Compartments for a whole round trip which will comfortably seat 12 people. Stretch your legs at Nant Gwernol while the engine runs around, where you'll have the perfect opportunity to get some photos of the train. Add a little extra with several bookable options to collect from our café and take on board with you. Your journey will last 2 and a half hours which includes a 30 minute stop at the delightful village of Abergynolwyn, plenty of time for a cuppa at The Quarrymans Caban. Please note Dogs are not permitted in First Class Compartments.
