I have only been on 4 of the 11 so far, the Vale of Rheidol not for over 40 years when I was a child (it didn’t have wheelchair access until last summer, 40 years ago I was a child and my father could lift me from my wheelchair). The Talyllyn is nice and is the basis of the Thomas the Tank Engine books by the Rev W Audry.My favourites are equally the Ffestiniog and the Welsh Highland railways that link up at Porthmadog. Even though you can’t travel the whole 40 miles without changing trains at the linking station I really treat then as a single railway, indeed, if you check the web links above you will see that they are the same for both as they are owned by the same company.
