    Worth a visit to support a local society with very historical links to Barry's past. Just wish we were allowed into the shed to see the trains up close, but health and safety....... says no. Hope they can extend the track in future, although it was wonderful to travel on Iris a diesel train. Brought back memories!! Please support this local railway, there was even some remains of an old steam trains wheels/ undercarriage which I remember climbing on the old rusty steam engines when I was young .

    Thank for letting us park on your station. Easy place to get from to see the fireworks.

    Very good service. However, the instructions for the use of Senior Passes are ZERO. It appears that the TFW and the Welsh Assembly is more interested in the Welsh language.

    Cannot recommend highly enough. Very welcoming group of people with a hidden gem tucked away. Its easy to assume its a normal private/volunteer steam railway, but its so much more! There is a tour of the train shed, led by the director himself, who clearly has a wealth of experience and is passionate about what he's doing. There's something for young and old and as it was the Summer the director had his two "apprentices" helping him out, which really added a touch if family to what was already a great excursion. Would definitely return and would heartily recommend!

    Just visiting on a walk so didn't get a chance to ride on the railway. Still interesting for rail enthusiasts or on a walk around the area

    The Railway was closed but the war museum was open so we popped in there it's not very big and it was impossible for use to get the wheelchair round but the staff were friendly and tried to help.

    Legend of a place, highly recommend a visit. The good people allowed me to shoot a WW1 documentary there as they have a fantastic war memorabilia section.

    The World War Museum in the train station is excellent, small, but very interesting and friendly guides

    Because I used to be a guard at each junction and Barry brings back good memories for when I worked on the railways
