21 at Tanybwlch

Carriage 21 is a third class bogie vehicle built for the Ffestiniog Railway. It is a replica of an original pair of carriages from 1897 neither of which survives in original form. Construction began in 2013, finished in 2019 and has largely been carried out by volunteers from "Team X".

The carriage entered full service on 18 July 2020 as part of the special heritage service run to comply with Covid-19 social distancing restrictions. For use in these services plywood partitions were fitted between adjacent compartments to enable social distancing.
