Help ups extend the Gwili Railway from Danycoed to Conwil station (near Cynwyl Elfed).
The project will
- Restore the original station at Conwil
- Repair or replace three bridges over the Afon Gwili
- Re-lay track through the narrow and scenic Gwili Valley
When the Gwili Railway was formed, it purchased 8 miles of trackbed from Abergwili Junction to Llanpumsaint but wasn’t able to purchase the track and most of it was lifted by British Rail’s contracor for scrap. We have gradually been extending the line over the last 50 years but the cost of the extension to Conwil is high due to repairs needed on three bridges over the Afon Gwili.
But we are well on the way
We have already received £150,000 from a generous supporter and they have also committed to match pound for pound every donation received under this appeal. If you are a UK taxpayer your donation will also qualify for Gift Aid increasing your contribution by 25% and at no cost to you.
The trackbed has been cleared and work is underway to replace the first bridge beyong Danycoed in the new year.
Please therefore consider giving what you can and help us achieve our goal.
