    It's a very nice railway! As a technology fan, I'm interested in the bridges/transitions between the passenger cars, I don't know of any bridges between the passenger cars on small railways Can you make a little video about these bridges and how it works? I would be very grateful

    I travelled last year from Australia, and among many UK activities patronised this line. Now I have to come back again to do the new section, but haven't time this year even though shortly to be in UK/Europe. A great achievement to open the extension. Let's hope GCR at Loughborough is next.

    Took the train to Corwen last weekend. Made the journey in the DMU, which meant a much better view of the scenery, which is absolutely superb. I had forgotten just how pretty this part of Wales is. I do wish that the line could be extended eastwards a little way to create a parkway station, because car parking in Llangollen is difficult at busy times.

    I remember hitchhiking near Corwen as a teenager and getting a lift from a gentleman who was organising the removal of material from the old Corwen Station for another heritage railway. Must have been nearly 60 years ago now. It seems appropriate that the station should be restored.

    Considering this is an all new station, apart from the canopy structure and signal box which were reclaimed, it does catch the time frame very well. Probably not happening in my life or at all, but think of linking up to Bala Lake where this railway once went..., would more than double the existing distance.

    @@johnatkin1096 The commercial properties built on the trackbed just before the A5 is crossed is what I noticed as a problem but what you point out would make the extension even a lot more expensive. But also a major issue would be one of the bridges over the river Dee completely missing. It was just a thought.
