Corris Railway’s Santa train services to run on December 12 and 13


Corris Railway will be operating its popular Santa Train services on December 12 and 13.

Following a heavy overhaul last year, steam locomotive Number 7 will head the Santa Train, which will also feature carriage number 22, making its festive season debut after entering traffic in September.

The trains will leave Corris Station at hourly intervals with the first departure at 11am and the last at 3pm. Passengers will enjoy the ride to Maespoeth Junction where Santa will be waiting in his grotto with presents for all the children.

There will be seasonal refreshments for the adults and the round trip will take just under an hour.  The fare for adults and seniors is £5 and for children £7.50. A family ticket - two adults and two children - will cost £20.

Corris Station is in the village and can be reached by turning off the A487 Dolgellau to Machynlleth road at the Braich Goch Inn.

“It will be good to hear the sound of a steam train at work in the Dulas Valley in the lead-up to Christmas and both our volunteer workers and the passengers always find the Santa days a lovely way to finish off our year of operations,” said organiser Bill Newton.
