Corris Railway

The Corris Railway operates a 2foot 3 inch heritage narrow gauge railway and museum in MidWales. It is the oldest railway in Mid Wales, established in the 1850s. It was closed officially in 1948, one of the first to be closed by the nationalised British Railways. In December 1966 a group of Talyllyn Railway Preservation Society members from the East Midlands formed what became The Corris Railway Society, with four goals : 1) to preserve what remained of the line 2) to research its history 3) to open a museum to display relics and photographs 4) to look into the possibility of reopening a section of the original route to passengersIn the summer of 2002, the Corris Railway resumed passenger services after a seventy-two year hiatus. Following a successful inspection from H. M. Railway Inspectorate on March 15th, and the obtaining of permission to operate from the body holding the residuary powers of the British Railways Board, the first scheduled fare-paying passenger train left Corris Station at 11 a. m. on Monday June 3rd.
