| The Llanelli & Mynydd Mawr Railway Company Ltd. Preserving Britain's Oldest Public Railway Registered Charity no. 1087985 |
Who are we?
The LMMR Company Ltd. was incorporated on the 15th April 1999 as a non-profit making company
limited by guarantee (with no remuneration paid to its Directors). The primary objective of the Company is
to reinstate a railway on this historic line which is recognised as Britain's first operating public railway
authorised by the Act of Parliament in 1802 and which began traffic in May 1803 as the Carmarthenshire
Tramroad. A heritage centre will also interpret the history of coal mining in the area and in particular the
industry which the railway served.
What does the Company Plan To Do?
Our scheme is utilising derelict land on the site of the former colliery at Cynheidre which is now owned by
the LMMR outright as of 2005. In the long-term the railway which closed to rail traffic in 1989 will be
re-instated where possible.
Work at our site at Cynheidre near Llanelli, South Wales is currently progressing. The first phase has
included the placing of a loco shed on our site as well as making the site available to the public. The
primary objective is to achieve a running line of one mile consisting of a platform, loco shed, heritage
centre, gift shop and càfe.
The project will become not only a prosperous tourist attraction, but also a vital educational resource for
future generations. Would you like to become a part of this great project? If the answer is yes then
please navigate through the side menu to find out more about us and how to get involved.

See below for a video of our latest developments. We are very much on the look out for as much practical
help as possible to help improve the restoration work already begun. In addition, we would also like to
heighten our profile and would welcome locomotive and stock owners to approach us with propositions
to house their stock on this up and coming line. Many thanks must go to Bob Masterman for his fantastic
video and his permission to place it here, Enjoy.
