That's easy for you to say. Try going to the ticket office at Cardiff and
asking for a ticket to that place. I did just that. "Can I have a return
saver to *THAT* place" was my exact wording (emphasis on the "THAT") and
they knew exactly what I meant.

Generally abbreviated to Llanfair or Llanfair PG!

Is this the longest URL on the net
http://llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.co.uk/?

Definitely not, because the URL of any given item on the site will
obviously be longer.

In any case, I don't think it's even the longest domain name, because
a few years ago someone deliberately created a longest possible
domain name (they must be 255 characters or less, I believe).  It
might be the longest domain name componant on the net.

That tongue-twisting station and its community
are on the Isle of Anglesey.

The subject of this post is Llanfair Caereinion (to give
it its full title) a small town in Mid-Wales.

It is the western terminus and HQ of the 2ft. - 6inch
gauge Welshpool & Llanfair Railway, the gala
weekend of which just happens to fall this coming
Saturday & Sunday, 2nd & 3rd September.

Just above Llanfair Station is the local High School and
Community Centre, wherein a splendid model railway
show, devoted in the main to large scale models of
narrow gauge prototypes, compliments the real thing.

I hope to be there myself.

The "official" Welshpool & Llanfair Light Railway web site is at
http://www.wllr.org.uk

As for The Countess you will have to look carefully to find her.....

Currently she is undergoing a heavy overhaul. New: boiler, cylinders,
water tanks.

The only visible parts likely to be on public display are the frames !!

The gala on 2 & 3 September is an excellent event, intensive train
service including freight trains and Dougal (Barclay 040T gas works
tank) pulling passenger trains.
