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..!

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

STEAM INTO THE MOUNTAINS...

We've had a very busy few weeks over the summer, with virtually every train on the Welsh Highland Railway being fully booked. However, with the main holiday season over, this is now an ideal time to enjoy a leisurely, scenic trip through the mountains to the picturesque village of Beddgelert...

Come and enjoy the many colours of the Welsh landscape, as they begin their Autumn transformation from verdant greens to purple heathers and russet leaves. Climbing from the coast, through winding valleys and across the slopes of Snowdon, you'll see a stunning variety of scenery along the way. Make the most of a Welsh 'staycation' and come for a train ride you'll always remember..!

Book online NOW @ bit.ly/2PYGgx5 - and don't miss our special Hamper service, with treats for you to enjoy during your journey.

Further information on our trains to Beddgelert - bit.ly/2PREY70

* NOTE: Seats are available at the moment, but may well sell out as demand increases. If a particular train does not show on the bookings system it has sold out... ... See MoreSee Less

SOMETHING SPECIAL FOR THE WEEKEND - BLUE or GREEN..?

Everyone has their favourite small locomotive, but some of ours have been hiding away this year. Therefore, we have decided to bring a couple out to play next weekend (26th/27th September). We're telling you now, because this will be a special experience for a lucky few - so you will need to be quick off the mark to book a trip to Tan-y-Bwlch behind your favourite..!

'BRITOMART' will work the 12:10 and 15:25 services on Saturday 26th September.

'LILLA' will be in charge of the 12:10 and 15:25 services on Sunday 27th September. (Latest: 'Lilla' is rostered subject to availability, if necessary 'Prince' will be used instead.)

Limited to just EIGHT compartments per train - we recommend you reserve your seats as soon as possible. Book online NOW @ bit.ly/3etzaug

* NOTE: Seats are available at the moment, but may well sell out as demand increases. If a particular train does not show on the bookings system it has sold out...
