‘Go Gold’ and enjoy an unforgettable journey along the historic Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railways

Our ‘Go Gold’ experiences are available on ‘The Harbourmaster’, ‘Snowdonia Star’, ‘Gelert Explorer’, ‘The Aberglaslyn’, ‘Mountain Spirit‘ and ‘The Quarryman‘ services.

Our First Class Pullman carriages, modern in years but ageless in quality, have been expertly constructed and finished in our Boston Lodge workshops and offer passengers a golden opportunity to travel in Orient Express style splendour.

These ‘Gold’ experiences are the epitome of luxury as you sit back and relax while you journey through the picturesque Welsh hills. Situated at the ends of the train, these carriages offer seating in a tranquil environment. Choose plush armchair bays with polished wooden tables seating up to four people, or an Observation saloon with free-standing chairs seating up to six people at the very end of the train with unrivalled views of the countryside.

Our Pullman Pamper Hamper Packages, complete with delicious mouth-watering local delicacies, and your choice of coffee or tea, are the perfect accompaniment to complete your deluxe day-out.

Please note: Hampers are optional extras which must be added and paid for on your booking.
