Llanelli & Mynydd Mawr Railway

The route of the original railway is recognised as Britain's first operating public railway, authorised by an Act of Parliament in 1802, and began traffic in May 1803 as the Carmarthenshire Tramroad. The railway operates on selected days throughout the year and offers standard gauge train rides over half a mile of running line, which will be extended gradually as funds allow. It currently owns a variety of rolling stock, including diesel locomotives and diesel multiple units. Other organisations, such as the Cab Yard, the London Transport Traction Group, and the Class 315 Preservation Society, are also present at the railway and play an active role in its future plans, with their assets being incorporated into upcoming attractions. New attractions for 2025 include the SuperSprinter Cafe, which will utilise the shell of a former Class 153 DMU, and a woodland walking trail.
