Talyllyn Railway employs pair of donkeys to help maintain the track

A railway has employed DONKEYS to maintain a seven-mile stretch of track by eating plants not being squashed by trains and passengers writes Sophie Donovan.

Most of the staff at Talyllyn Railway in Snowdonia are no longer on site amid lockdown.

It is the first time the world's first preserved heritage railway has not run trains since 1951.
