THE Talyllyn Railway (TR), the world’s first preserved railway, has secured a £110,000 National Lottery Heritage Fund (NLHF) development grant award for its Talyllyn Railway: Preserving Our Past Building Our Future project, writes Cliff Thomas.
The award will assist the TR in producing detailed plans for a full application seeking more than £1 million from the NLHF towards the estimated £3.5 million project to develop the railway’s Tywyn Wharf station and Tywyn Pendre sites.
