Our 6 for 60 Gala is the largest celebration held on our line for many years. It brings together a superb range of attractions to commemorate 60 years since the closure of the Carmarthen to Aberystwyth line as well as marking Rail 200, the 200th anniversary of the modern rail system’s birth.
This event is managed & sponsored by Fox & Edwards Events.
The six highlights of this year’s event include;
– Visiting locomotive No. 5521 / L150, appearing courtesy of Bill Parker & Epping Ongar Railway. This typical Great Western locomotive is appearing for the first time on our line – having toured the London Underground, the wider UK and even Europe in the last 20 years.
– Launch and first services of Haulwen locomotive into service again after extensive restoration (subject to completion of works and locomotive use to be confirmed).
– Launch of a new 1950s MK1 into traffic following extensive restoration funded by owners Fox & Edwards Events.
– The last appearance of No. 6430 at an enthusiast event prior to withdrawal from service in May.
– The first appearance of two Great Western Railway locomotives together in steam on our line in 37 years.
– Intensive timetable of steam services including evening trips, with departures frequently from Abergwili Junction.
Additionally, there will be miniature steam traction engines and other attractions.
All tickets sold are rover tickets, which are valid on all passenger trains during the event.
