Volunteers worked tirelessly from 2009 to 2022 to reinstate the two-mile section of track and we are delighted to announce that the project has now been put forward for an award.

The Steam Railway Magazine and Heritage Railway Association host an award each year where projects from within the heritage railways are put forward for readers to vote and select their favourite.

This year national award-winning Cambrian Heritage Railways is on the shortlist for the Weston Wharf project.

Andy Green General Manager said: “Cambrian Heritage Railways are delighted to be considered amongst the best new steam railways attractions and this has been recognised by the Steam Railway Magazine.

"However, we need your help by going online and vote for us to win this prestigious award” Voting is online only; you can cast your vote here.

"From the above link, click Vote Now where you will be taken to a list of nominations, Cambrian Heritage Railways is number 3 on the list – voting closes 23:59 on February 2nd."

Cambrian Heritage Railways is a volunteer-based organisation located at Oswestry, Weston Wharf and Llynclys.
