Date: 06/01/2012

Work to restore a rail line to a Denbighshire town is approaching the half-way mark, say enthusiasts. Llangollen Railway is extending its line to Corwen and enthusiasts say track laying is going well with the route already cleared and fenced off. People officially walked the two-mile (3.2km) extension for the last time this week. The next time will be by train when the line opens next year.
