September is here and the children are going back to school for a term that will end shortly before Christmas. The year is in its final third, the cricket season is coming to an end for another season and the autumn tints are appearing quietly in some of the trees.

Not long before the schools break up the Corris Railway will be running its annual Santa Trains on Saturday December 7th and Sunday December 8th offering visitors a short journey in our recreated Victorian carriages along the Dulas Valley from Corris Station to Maespoeth Junction. There Santa and his helpers will be waiting with presents for the children and light refreshments with a seasonal touch.

There are four trains scheduled to run on each day, leaving Corris at 11:00, 12:30, 14:00 and 15:30. Fares are £7.50 for adults and £10.00 for children. With 70 seats available on each train early booking is advisable, particularly if planning your day around a particular train time.

The Railway Museum and Shop at Corris station will be open on both days allowing visitors to see artifacts from the history of the Railway, which once linked Machynlleth and Aberllefenni, and the area generally or to buy some late items of clothing, Books, Christmas Cards or children’s gifts ahead of the festive season and 2025. The range of children’s books includes “Hugh Goes Sliding” by Christopher Awdry, author of some of the “Thomas” tales about steam locomotives on the Corris and tales about the Friendly Engines written by one of our volunteers.
