The Carol Train — Talyllyn Railway

The Talyllyn Railway runs The Carol Train as its own evening event, separate from its Santa Specials. The operator describes an evening of festive cheer that combines carol singing with a steam train ride.

The operator says the evening begins at Tywyn Wharf with mulled wine and mince pies before boarding; its booking page lists a drink and a mince pie with each adult and child ticket. The train then runs to Abergynolwyn, where the carols begin. The Abergynolwyn café is open for an interval, with warm meals and light refreshments available to buy, and a charity raffle is held with proceeds going to Tŷ Gobaith Children's Hospice.

The train returns to Tywyn Wharf at roughly 10pm.
