Brian Bushell, a well known Ffestiniog Railway figure, passed away on the 21st of May. His health had been deterioriating for quite some time and he had moved to a care home in Dolgellau recently. 

His funeral will be held at Bangor Crematorium on Thursday the 4th of June at 13.30. 

With the current restrictions only ten people can attend funerals. Many of Brian’s friends will not be able to attend due to travel restrictions and the need to self isolate. You may be comforted to know that Brian’s friends in the local community of Tremadog are helping with arrangements. The funeral directors car will leave Tremadog at 12.20 giving an opportunity for friends to bid him goodbye. 

Anyone wishing to attend the service should contact Rachel Dawn Jones or Matthew Fox. I am afraid we do not have their mobile numbers or emails at present but we we understand they can be contacted via facebook.

With so many of the railway community having known Brian for a very long time it is expectd that some form of memorial service will take place at a late date although the detail of this remains unknown.

RIP Brian
