2020 is not turning out the way we would ever have

2020 is not turning out the way we would ever have expected - and it is causing us to continually review our plans for train services and events. As a result, we have decided that it is impossible for us to run our Victorian Vintage Weekend in the style we have all become used to - so, we are cancelling the event...

Instead, we are replacing it with a simpler, more Covid-aware 'Bygones Weekend’. This will feature Heritage trains, passenger and goods - with seats on all trains being pre-booked in the same fashion as our current service trains to Tan-y-Bwlch...

Please Note: this will not be a costumed event, there will be no sideshows / stalls, strict Covid-19 compliant measures will be in place (please bring your face masks etc), access to main stations will be limited to ticket holders - but we will be doing our very best to lay on a weekend that maximises the enjoyment of our railway's rich heritage...

Final details are being worked out at the present moment, so please bear with us for a few more days. We will post further information on Facebook and our website as soon as possible, so keep your eyes peeled to find out how we intend to bring the past to life, 2020 fashion..!

SUNDAY AFTERNOON EXTRA...

It's certainly looking to be a superb weekend here in North Wales. The wind is chill, but the sun is bright - and the town and railway are busy. Everyone must be making the most of the first weekend of Autumn. As a result we had to put a train back in the timetable today - and now we're doing the same for Sunday..!

You can book tickets NOW for the 13:15 Porthmadog to Tan-y-Bwlch on Sunday. It's a great time of year to be out and about, so come for a ride in our steam-hauled Heritage Train and enjoy the sights, sounds and smells of early autumn in Snowdonia...

EXTRA TRAIN TODAY...

Saturdays are normally one of our quietest days on the railway, so we run fewer trains. However, people are out enjoying the sunshine and scenery today and our trains are busy...

So we have put the 13:15 Porthmadog to Tan-y-Bwlch Heritage Train back into today's timetable to provide additional seats.

Come and enjoy the changing colours of Snowdonia on a scenic train ride from the coast through the beautiful Vale of Ffestiniog...

WELCOME TO OUR NEW 'FIRST CLASS LUXURY PULLMAN DAY OUT'...

The arrival of Autumn would traditionally have signalled a busy period for our on-board catering staff as they would begin to prepare our renowned ‘Pullman Afternoon Tea’ experiences.

However, this Autumn, we have been busy designing an alternative ‘First Class Luxury Pullman Day Out’, which will act as a provisional substitute for our traditional ‘Pullman Afternoon Teas’.

We are excited to launch our new ‘First Class Luxury Pullman Day Out’ package, offering the chance of a luxury day out in our brand new Pullman First Class carriage, ‘Gwyrfai’ on our Welsh Highland Railway ‘Back to Beddgelert’ service from the 26th September onwards.

This beautifully finished carriage, generously funded by members of the Welsh Highland Railway Society and built in our own workshops, gives the feeling of the Orient Express right in the middle of Snowdonia.

Perspex screens have been tastefully added to the carriage to provide five bays of armchair seating at tables for up to four passengers travelling together as a group.

This new package will be priced at £175 for two people which includes the return journey fare and a ‘First Class Hamper’ for two.

To book a ‘First Class Luxury Pullman Day Out’ package or for further information please visit our website: bit.ly/2FZyHVs

*Customers who have already booked an original ‘Pullman Afternoon Tea’ can transfer their original booking to a new ‘First Class Luxury Pullman Day Out’ package by calling our Booking Office; 01766 516024. ... See MoreSee Less
