F&WHR Trust

The Snowdonian Limited - Saturday June 15th 2019 (book your place now)

A wonderful opportunity to be a passenger on the aptly named Snowdonian train as it takes its annual 80 mile round trip through the glorious Snowdonia National Park. The journey will cover the full length of both the Welsh Highland and Ffestiniog Railways in one day. To add more interest to this scenic journey, the Snowdonian will be hauled by a variety of motive power. The April weekend will see Lyd and Lyn hauling the train on the WHR section and in June the Snowdonian will be Garratt hauled non-stop from Porthmadog to Caernafon. Motive power on the Ffestiniog Railway leg will be confirmed at a later date. Don't leave it too late to reserve your seat as this is a popular event and places will be limited.

These trains are being run to raise funds for The Diamond Jubilee Appeal.
