WORK to remove the last major obstacle preventing the Llangollen Railway from extending into Corwen town centre has begun, with Welsh Water having started work on building a new access road to the waste water treatment plant at Corwen.

The 22-yard length of new road will be graded to climb up and over the old Ruthin branch embankment into the treatment works and will provide an improved access for the service vehicles when the work is finished in late September.
