A heritage railway in Denbighshire is hosting a 1960s weekend as work to extend the track continues. The weekend both commemorates the time when the original line closed, and celebrates the continued success of Llangollen Railway as a tourist attraction. The old line closed to passenger traffic in 1965 and to goods in 1968. Llangollen Railway is halfway through a £4.6m extension of its line from Carrog to Corwen.
