Welcome to the Teifi Valley Railway2012 LEAFLET AVAILABLE - PHONE FOR A COPY (Or visit Tourist Information Centres in the Pembrokeshire, Carmarthenshire and Ceredigion areas)
The Teifi Valley Railway is a narrow-gauge tourist railway located at Henllan, about four miles to the east of Newcastle Emlyn on the Carmarthen and Ceredigion borders.The river Teifi - or Afon Teifi in Welsh - is the longest river wholly within Wales and forms the boundary of the counties of Carmarthen and Ceredigion. Our normal timetable is from April 1st until the end of September - plus Halloween and Christmas. Passenger Information Registered disabled people and their carers get 10% off our fares - but please ask at the time of booking your tickets. DOGS - YES we do allow well-behaved dogs (and well-behaved dog owners) on the train. Dogs are NOT allowed in the cafe, or in the children's play area. The only exception to this are dogs for the blind. Dogs travelling on the train are charged £1 and have their own tickets with a stamped picture of a dog on the back - just in case you don't know who the ticket is for!! There is also the woodland walk down to the waterfalls at Pontprenshitw. PICNICS AT THE RAILWAY We have picnic tables located in the children's play area and at other odd locations around the station area at Henllan. Now we also have a picnic table located down at the Riverside right on the bridge. So take your picnic down on the train and sit in the shelter to have your picnic when everyone else has gone back on the train. However don't forget to let the Guard know to come back and pick you up. The picnic tables under cover outside the cafe are for the use of those purchasing food and drink from the cafe. We also ask that you take your rubbish away with you - you'd be surprised to see how much rubbish we get and we have to pay for it's removal! LATEST NEWS
The 2012 Leaflet is now available and distribution will be taking The Society AGM held on March 24. As with most AGM's there was not much change at this year's Society AGM - however the main change is the election of a new Chairman and it seems most fitting to have Michael's son, Alex take over the reighns. Michael had decided due to ill health to not seek re-election but his son agreed to being put forward in his place! The first normal TVRS meeting took place on Thursday 12th of April. The main problem that faces the railway is the lack of volunteers - and in particular someone to assist Mike Boddington with the Miniature Railway and additional Guards on the main train. I'm sure that Liz and Ray would welcome assistance in the shop area as well. If you are interested in helping out occasionally, just give us a call on 01559 371077 or send us an email to teifivalleyrailway@yahoo.co.uk after all, it's better than watching daytime TV!!
