| Unlike many of it's contemporaries, the Welshpool & Llanfair was not built for the slate traffic but instead served the local farming community in this part of rural Mid-Wales. It was taken over by the G.W.R. in 1923 but as with many other lines became uneconomical by the end of the second world war and was closed in 1956. Preservatonists stepped in to save the railway and today it operates from Llanfair Caerinion to Welshpool Raven Square in the former county of Montgomery, it's mile-long link through the town to the former Cambrian Railway having been permanantly abandoned. |
