We try to ensure that steam trains run as advertised. The Corris Railway may have to cancel, alter or suspend the published timetable with or without notice, or to use a diesel locomotive in the unlikely event of a breakdown or crew shortage. It accepts no liability for any loss, inconvenience, disappointment or delay caused by this.

Great little train to visit. Have several different trains including steam. Your ticket allows several trips. This is self funded and ran by volunteers so great to support them. very friendly staff. Why not combine visit with Corris craft centre.
