Corris Railway Grand Tour

They introduced horse-drawn charabancs to ferry passengers from the station at Corris to Tal-y-llyn Lake and Cadair Idris, four miles to the north.

[1] The service was immediately popular and was soon extended in partnership with the nearby Talyllyn Railway to provide a "Grand Tour".

From there they proceeded by charabanc to Tal-y-llyn lake, pausing for refreshments at the Pen-y-Bont Hotel, and on to Abergynolwyn, where they joined the Talyllyn train for the trip to the coast at Tywyn.

Here they met the standard gauge Cambrian Railways train which returned them to Machynlleth.

In the early years of the twentieth century the Bristol company replaced the horse-drawn vehicles with motor charabancs.
