The Cambrian Railways Trust (not to be confused with the nearby Cambrian Railway Society) operates the heritage railway known as the Cambrian Heritage Railway. The Trust is based at Llynclys near Oswestry, Shropshire, England.
The Trust plans to reinstate the former Cambrian Railways line from Gobowen to Pant (via Oswestry and Llynclys) as a heritage railway. The Trust has operated regular weekend DMU operations during 2006 and 2007 over a restored section of 62 chains (about three quarters of a mile) from Llynclys South station to Penygarreg Lane. Regular steam operations will begin in 2008.
