2019 is the 50th anniversary year of the Shropshire Railway Society, and to celebrate, we chartered a train on the Welshpool and Llanfair Railway. A truly splendid train it was too – one of the two original locomotives, “Countess”, hauling the three replica coaches (the originals having been scrapped many years ago). Running from Llanfair to Welshpool and back, with ample time for a most enjoyable lunch, it was a great day out, an excellent way to mark our half-century.
