Cambrian Railway (Oswestry, Llynclys & Gobowen)
The railways around Oswestry are progressively being revived by several organisations, now working together, including the Cambrian Railways Society and the Cambrian Railways Trust. They have a confusingly split history and are spread over several sites in the area.
The oldest of the three sites is at Oswestry, which had Class 104 vehicles there in the 1990's, however they have not had any DMU vehicles for over 20 years now.
Cambrian Railways have had an operating base at Llynclys since 2001 which has been the home of two Class 101 sets which have successfully operated services. The modest railway runs from Llynclys to Pant, which was rebuilt from nothing over around 5 years, the first passengers being carried in July 2005. In 2012 DMU operation had to stop as overhaul work was required to both the interiors and mechanics of the resident units, however it is hoped for services to resume soon using one of the sets.
The third site is at the mainline connection at Gobowen, where the society has control of sidings alongside the station. The site became of relevence to this website in 2020, when newly preserved second generation Class 144's were delivered there, for future community use on the rebuilt Cambrian Railway.
