Built in 1836 to carry slate by gravity, the Festiniog Railway was the world’s first public narrow-gauge line, passengers being carried for the first time on such a narrow gauge in 1865. Unintendedly it became Britain’s most scenic railway route and is run by our oldest surviving private railway company. Once the school holidays are over, April will be a quiet month on the Railway, with probably just a token service, morning and afternoon, on Wednesdays only and occasional specials.

S. Evans Ex-Penrhyn Railway ‘Linda’ and her short off-season train make a fine distraction for motorists on the main coast road. Engines are given to happy whistling at this point if there is a traffic jam, not uncommon in the summer.
