Snow in Wales

As some of you might have heard the UK has been shivering in freezing temperatures and snow, including the West Coast of Wales.

The Talyllyn Railway does not usually have a lot of snow, but this year it has hit hard (though minor by Colorado standards!), with the line partially closed by snow drifts. But our hardy staff aided by volunteers have been working to clear the line.

Take a look at some photos:

Video of some of the snow clearing operations (snow in this quantity is so rare, we do not possess purpose-built snow clearing equipment, so it's brute force by man and machine!):
