This exciting new outdoor play tells the story of how the railways came to the Oswestry and Llanymynech area, and how they transformed the way everyone lived. It will be performed at the old stations of Oswestry and Llanymynech.
The play is told from the point of view of the users of the railways, and the workers – the navvies who built the railways, the drivers, firemen, signalmen, station masters, porters, the locomotive builders, the managers, and those who initially had the vision, and money, to want to put a railway in what was then an obscure part of Great Britain.
As well as showing what it was like to be a railwayman, the story will tell of famous incidents in the history of the Cambrian Railways, including the Welshampton disaster, and the more famous Abermule disaster, when two trains hit each other at speed along a single track.
