Day Log/1869-07-26
On this day The Festiniog Railway Act 1869 received the royal assent. It enabled the line to be double tracked throughout (never invoked), and do a few other things. The full plans can be viewed at Dolgellau Record Office (Ref. Z/CD118). This Act repealed the earlier Act of 1832 and Act of 1838, though parts of the former were contained in a schedule to this act. It should be remembered that other Acts (irrespective of bearing on the FR directly), also apply.[1]
