On the 20th of July we will be welcoming visitors On the 20th of July we will be welcoming visitors back to the railway, for the first time since March, as we launch the Ffestiniog Railway’s reopening service from Porthmadog to Tan-y-Bwlch. Our Heritage carriages are once again coming to the fore, running to Tan y Bwlch much like they did in the 1960’s. Our priority over the past few weeks has been to create a service that maintains the safety of our visitors, staff and volunteers. This has been of the utmost importance and we believe the new service is as safe as possible during these troubling times. While safety has been the primary focus of our planning, we have also worked hard to design a service that allows you to enjoy many of the fantastic features our railway has to offer. This new look ‘Summer’ service will undoubtedly be different to what many of us expected at the start of the year, but we are determined to make it an enjoyable experience for all our visitors. Detailed information is provided on our website. While we appreciate there will be many queries regarding our reopening, we encourage you to read our comprehensive FAQ page, prior to emailing or calling our offices.

Travel restrictions in Wales have been eased. We're in the final stages of planning for re-opening. Don't worry - it won't be long now, but meanwhile...
Here's a video on how we can all help look after the National Park as everyone returns.

ROLLING BACK THE MISTS - Rolling back the years...

Thanks to the incredible work and continuous support of our staff, volunteers and supporters, we are delighted to announce that the Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railways will soon be steaming once again..!

On the 20th of July we will be welcoming visitors back to the railway, for the first time since March, as we launch the Ffestiniog Railway’s reopening service from Porthmadog to Tan-y-Bwlch.

Online ticket sales will go live on our website from 14th July.

The swirling mists of a global pandemic have caused a seemingly never-ending cloud of difficulties, complications and uncertainty. During this period our railway has undergone challenges the like of which it has never experienced before, but while the challenges persist we have always maintained the hope that brighter times lie ahead.

This is a momentous occasion for the railway and we would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their phenomenal support during these challenging times. Generous donations, offers of voluntary service and well-wishing messages have been a constant theme throughout this period.

Without your support, we would not be making this announcement.

We will initially release tickets for trains running between 20th July and 31st July. During the initial days of the new service we will review demand and look to extend advance bookings through to 4th September.

Our priority over the past few weeks has been to create a service that maintains the safety of our visitors, staff and volunteers.

This new look ‘Summer’ service will undoubtedly be different to what many of us expected at the start of the year, but we are determined to make it an enjoyable experience for all our visitors.

Please visit our website for the full details of our reopening: bit.ly/3gTbQYr

While we appreciate there will be many queries regarding our reopening, we encourage you to read this thoroughly, and visit the comprehensive FAQ page on our website, prior to emailing or calling our offices.

We are delighted to share this great news with you all, however we would also like to offer our sympathies to all those who have been affected and who have suffered losses during this pandemic.

Whilst the effects of these past months will take a long time to heal, we trust that our reopening can provide a ray of joy to those who have struggled during these challenging times.

A warm welcome awaits you all once more.

*Please note that ongoing train services will be subject to any further changes in UK Government policy in response to the Covid-19 situation. ... See MoreSee Less
