Chairman Robert Williams said: "Our Saturday and Sunday steam operation commenced at the beginning of July with our annual Beer & Cider Festival. Passenger numbers have exceeded our previous best and we look forward to welcoming more passengers over the summer holidays, be that over one of the weekends for our steam services or our mid-week Wednesday service. We have a range of upcoming events over the summer."

Please see our website for more details. Our main station building in Oswestry houses our café & shop – the café has recently been awarded a 5-star health rating and is expanding its selection as we hit a busy time of year."
