About the Welshpool & Llanfair Light Railway

The Welshpool & Llanfair Light Railway is a 8.5-mile narrow gauge heritage railway linking the town of Welshpool with the village of Llanfair Caereinion. Following closure by British Railways in 1956, the line was reopened in stages as a heritage railway between 1963 and 1981.

Stamps for the railway letter service were first issued in 1975, with further releases generally appearing every two or three years until the final issue in 2003.
