Train at Corris Station

Corris Railway No.7 moves forward onto the traverser, after uncoupling from its train. This is now the northern limit of the line. The locomotive was built in 2005 by/for the Corris Railway preservation group. It is essentially a copy of No.4, which was built by Kerr Stuart in 1921, subsequently sold to the Talyllyn Railway and now running as No.4 Edward Thomas. See SH6706 : 12.20 for Tywyn

Corris Station traverser

Corris Railway No.7 being traversed from the platform to the run-round loop. The transfer table is manually operated (pushed by 2 men). This is now the northern limit of the line. The recently-installed traverser saves valuable space. See SH7507 : The new traverser at Corris Station

Maespoeth Junction, Corris Railway

This is currently the southern limit of public services on the line. The local council has imposed a planning constraint, due to the lack of parking on the adjacent A487. Passengers can only purchase return tickets from Corris, although they may get off the train at Maespoeth.
