Commenting on today’s announcement (see attached Press Release) that Llangollen Railway PLC have had to take the reluctant step of inviting the bank to appoint a receiver, North Wales MS Mark Isherwood, who has long championed the work of Llangollen Railway and worked with them over many years, said:

“This is dreadful and concerning news about a wonderful heritage railway.

“The loss of this railway would not only be devastating for the army of volunteers who support it and the railway’s employees, but also for the wider visitor economy in Llangollen and throughout the Dee Valley.

“I have offered to assist the Railway in any way I can.”
