THE Llanelli & Mynydd Mawr Railway (LMMR) has launched a new project to develop a community cafe and hub at its Cynheidre base. This will have a distinct railway theme, utilising the bodyshell of a Class 153 DMU car, the first of the class to pass into preservation.
The Class 153 ‘Super Sprinters’ are single-car units converted in the late 1980s and 90s from British Leyland-built two-car Class 155s.
