🎅 HAPPY SANTA..!!!✅ Following further inspection of the railway, we are pleased to say that the decision has been taken to run our Santa Trains from Caernarfon tomorrow (Sunday 8th December) as originally planned.⚠️ Note: this is subject to no further problems arising overnight. There is a tree obstructing the line at the moment, but this will be cleared before trains run in the morning. Thank you to those who reported it to us..!✅ In Porthmadog, Harbour Station will be open as originally planned for Santa's Grotto, Footplate Rides and 'Elf Express' Shuttle Trains to Minffordd. ⚠️ Note: We are currently without power at our Loco Works and along the line to (and at) Minffordd Station. This may cause a delay, so the shuttle trains may run later than anticipated - but they will be running... but again, subject to no further problems arising overnight. Our Gift Shop and Spooner's Café-Bar will also be open as planned.Footplate Rides should take place on 'Blanche' - a loco with an enclosed cab to protect visitors from the weather, should it rain..!❗️ Please allow extra time to complete your journey to us, as there may well be ongoing disruption on roads in the area - due to flooding, fallen trees etc. We will be very busy in Porthmadog tomorrow, as many people have transferred their Grotto visit and 'Elf Express' ride from today's cancelled events. To help us take care of everybody, please do your best to keep to your booked times so we can avoid queues and delays. If you arrive early, Spooner's Café is lovely and warm, while footplate rides are available outside without pre-booking, so there is something to enjoy before your Shuttle Train ride and visit to Santa in his Grotto..!It's been a hectic and frustrating 24 hours, but hopefully we will be able to put Storm Darragh behind us and get on with the serious business of enjoying the festive celebrations...Thank you for bearing with us while we did our best to keep to our Christmas plans for today. We look forward to seeing you tomorrow..!.. ... See MoreSee Less

A BIG "THANK YOU..!"Today is 'International Volunteer Day', established by the United Nations General Assembly in 1985 to recognize and celebrate the contributions of volunteers worldwide. Here at the F&WHR we are extremely lucky to have a fantastic band of skilled and willing people who 'give up' their free time to help run, maintain and organise our activities - working in all areas of the organisation. They come from a broad spectrum of backgrounds, professions, ages and abilities but all share a passion for the Ffestiniog Railway and/or the Welsh Highland Railway.Without their support we would not be able to run the F&WHR as well as we do now. They operate our locomotives, guard our trains, control our signals and the safe running of the railway; they help maintain our track, clear lineside vegetation growth, look after station gardens, greet our visitors, work in the shops and booking office; they restore, repair and rebuild locos, carriages, wagons and buildings; they work ‘behind the scenes’ publicising our railways, raising funds, looking after our archive collection, providing financial and legal advice, help us in planning for the future etc. The list goes on and on...Such a wide variety of skills and personalities, but their efforts make the F&WHR what it is today - and will be in the future. If you would like to be part of that future, come and join us as a volunteer yourself. Bring your skills and interests with you, or come and try your hand at something completely different from your 'day to day' life. It's a great way to meet people, make new friends and become part of a team working to a common goal.You can find out more about 'Volunteering on the F&WHR' on our website @ festrail.co.uk/volunteeringSo, on International Volunteers Day, here's a big "Thank You..!" to all our volunteers - Past, Present and Future - for all you do, and we look forward to seeing you here on your next visit..!#InternationalVolunteersDay#VolunteerRecognition#VolunteerImpact#MakingADifference#ThankYouVolunteers ...
