Significant events
- “In March 2024, the Council of the Talyllyn Railway Preservation Society, which since 1950 had served the Railway so well, met for the last time. Having sought approval from its members, the process to incorporate the Society as a Company Limited by Guarantee concluded on the 26th March. As a result, the unincorporated Society was subsumed into the new company, which marked the formal end of the original 1950's body.”
- “The NLHF project continued with the design work for Wharf, Trefri, and Pendre redevelopment from concept plans through to progressing to the Stage 3 - "Developed Design". To raise an important source of funds for this development, the "75" Appeal launched in March; by June, monthly donations had reached £2,769.”
- “Creative fundraising incentives included sponsored sleepovers, "Adopt-a-Loco" programme and the "Pound a Passenger" donation idea. Having quickly surpassed the original target of £500,000, the appeal target was increased to £750,000.”
- “During the year, grants were approved for additional injectors, the Village Incline Winding House conservation project, battery electric locomotive regauging and upgrades. Plans to convert carriage no. 9 into a "party carriage" was agreed.”
- “Storm "Darragh" brought down numerous trees on the Extension and trains terminated at Abergynolwyn until daily running commenced in 2025.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
