Talyllyn Railway

The railway opened in 1866 and was unusual amongst the narrow-gauge lines serving the slate industry as it was owned by the quarry it served and ran a public passenger and freight service between Tywyn and Nant Gwernol, Gwynedd. It is proud of its heritage as the first preserved railway in the world and its reputation as ‘the railway with a heart of gold’. The team is passionate about protecting the environment as well as investing in the local community, so taking part in the Green Digital Academy was an opportunity not to be missed.
