Wrexham care home residents take nostalgic train ride through Dee Valley

Mario Kreft MBE, owner of Pendine Park, said: "I think it was a fantastic experience for our residents, a real trip down memory train. Dave Hennigan and everyone from the railway trust in Llangollen have done a wonderful job in organising such a memorable occasion."
"Trains and railways bring back such wonderful memories for many of our residents, I suppose as a child so many people would say they wanted to be a train driver," Mr Kreft said.
