The diesel units do not have a toilet on board, the steam train carriages do, however it’s only a 20-25 min journey and there are toilets on the stations both ends, and nice little cafes.

Yes there will be time to stop and get a later train, please check our timetable as we have steam at weekends and heritage rail car in the week at the moment

No - the website shows no trains running between January 1 (you've already missed that one!) and February 17. Most heritage railways don't run during the tourist off-season (Most of them use the time to do engineering works on their line)

I asked this question of the railway before I attended the Diesel Gala. I was told that it would be possible only if a volunteer was available to give a guided tour. During the gala, I asked someone working in the yard if this could be arranged. The answer was in the negative even though there were several volunteers sitting in the meeting room visible from the public footpath. Personally, I believe that the railway has missed a trick. Other heritage lines arrange shed visits during galas and charge £5 for the privilege, e.g. Severn Valley Railway. Health and safety concerns are manageable using formal risk assessments. The situation at Llangollen is ironic given that money seems to have been lost on the engineering side of the business. Shed visits would go a small way to redressing the financial shortfall.

Hi I am not sure what your staff pass is so please can you tell me and I will be able to let you know

Its not long about 20 minutes. You will need to contact the station for timetables. Nice pleasant journey though, enjoy

You can get a rover ticket if you want to hop on or off. We bought a normal return and walked back to the next station for return. Staff are very friendly and will advise what's the best ticket for you.

Yes dogs are welcome at a cost of £1.50 per dog.
