Our ‘Go Gold’ experiences are available on ‘The Harbourmaster’, ‘Snowdonia Star’, ‘Gelert Explorer’, ‘Mountain Spirit‘, ‘The Quarryman‘ and ‘Sunsetter‘ 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.
On the Welsh Highland Railway (WHR), Gold Class passengers aboard the ‘Snowdonia Star’ (WHR) and ‘The Harbourmaster’ (WHR) enjoy at-seat waiter service. A traditional Welsh Tea is available, alongside an upgraded Welsh slate cheeseboard featuring a selection of Welsh cheeses, artisan crackers and pickle. The Eryri Afternoon Tea—complete with a three-tier selection of Welsh cakes and cheeses—can be pre-booked online. The ‘Gelert Explorer’ (WHR) service has a waiter service in Gold Class and offers a Welsh Tea option and light refreshments.
On the Ffestiniog Railway (FR), Gold Class passengers travelling on the ‘Mountain Spirit’ (FR) and ‘The Quarryman’ (FR) benefit from at-seat waiter service and a Welsh Tea option. Pre-bookable picnic hampers, lunchboxes and afternoon tea boxes—featuring locally sourced Welsh produce and catering to a variety of dietary requirements—are also available.
