Llangollen Sixties Weekend 2025

Another trip to Llangollen in August for the sixties weekend, which is starting to take off again after it stopped during the Covid period. It's a similar event to CTW in July, though the timetable is a little less busy there are events along the line including music and a group protesting at the Beeching cuts.



Carrog station



A fair bit of diesel traction. A long spell of dry weather prior to the event meant that steam was limited, so the heritage railcar and diesel locos did a lot of the work.





This is another stitched image. I took a similar photo a few years back, but with a different loco. It's one of those locations where it's pretty easy to get a good image, there's a place to stand just up from the station with a good view down to the station, the river and the hotel on the left. I had a single image that actually came out better, but there's a very noticeable camper van trying to negotiate the road junction on the right which detracts from it.

I attend both days, and the idea of staying just down the road is appealing. But, I'm displaying a classic car at the event, I have two and I like to swap them around so I have one on Saturday and the other on Sunday, so I go there and back. I'm only about 40-odd miles away so it's not so bad. But some of our club members stayed there for the Classic weekend in July and enjoyed it.
