We are a new railway and heritage venture developing part of the former colliery site at Cynheidre and have a dedicated team of volunteers that are working very hard to have a working railway and tourist attraction as soon as possible.
Why not come and visit us to see the progress we are making? We are actively seeking volunteers and as with any charity venture, have vacancies to fit any area of expertise.
