On Sunday 1st September, you are invited to a special ‘Family Fun Day’ at Blaenau Ffestiniog’s railway station – featuring footplate rides, stalls on the platform and a special train to Tan-y-Bwlch and back.
One of our ex-Penhryn Quarry Railway locos ‘Blanche’ or ‘Linda’ will be busy providing footplate rides through the station from 10:30 until 13:30.
These locomotives normally take it in turns to work ‘The Quarryman’ service from Blaenau Ffestiniog to Porthmadog – with one based in Blaenau Ffestiniog, while the other is receiving attention at the Boston Lodge workshops.
As well as the footplate rides, there will be a selection of stalls on the station platform.
If you fancy a train journey down the Ffestiniog Railway – a special train for locals (those with a primary address in LL41 only) will leave Blaenau Ffestiniog at 14:25 heading to Tan-y-Bwlch, where there’s a break of just over an hour before the return journey, arriving back in Blaenau Ffestiniog at around 16:40. The train will be worked by a different engine in each direction – giving you the chance to ride behind both ‘Linda’ and ‘Blanche’ on the same day..!
*PLEASE NOTE: Customers travelling on the locals’ train must bring proof of residency (e.g. Driver’s License) on the day of travel to show at the check in desk.
Tickets for the locals’ train to Tan-y-Bwlch are now on sale and can be purchased from ‘Y Caban’ at Blaenau Ffestiniog Platform: Adults £10 – Children £1 (Please note, there will be a limit of 160 seats and tickets will be sold on a first come, first served basis)
There’s no charge for footplate rides, but donations are always welcome. There’s no need to pre-book any of the activities either…
Come along with friends and family to join in the fun – we look forward to seeing you during the day..!
Ar Ddydd Sul 1af o Fedi, fe’ch gwahoddir i ‘Ddiwrnod Hwyl i’r Teulu’ arbennig yng ngorsaf Blaenau Ffestiniog – a fydd yn cynnwys reidiau troed plât, stondinau ar y platfform a thrên arbennig i Dan-y-Bwlch ac yn ôl.
Bydd un o’n hen locos Rheilffordd Chwarel Penhryn ‘Blanche’ neu ‘Linda’ yn brysur yn darparu reidiau ar droed drwy’r orsaf o 10:30 tan 13:30
Mae’r locomotifau hyn fel arfer yn cymryd eu tro i weithio gwasanaeth ‘Yr Chwarelwr’ o Flaenau Ffestiniog i Borthmadog – gydag un wedi’i lleoli ym Mlaenau Ffestiniog, a’r llall yn cael sylw yng ngweithdai Boston Lodge.
Yn ogystal â’r reidiau plât troed, bydd detholiad o stondinau ar blatfform yr orsaf.
Os ydych chi awydd taith trên lawr Rheilffordd Ffestiniog – bydd trên arbennig ar gyfer trigolion lleol
(y rhai sydd â phrif gyfeiriad yn LL41 yn unig) yn gadael Blaenau Ffestiniog am 14:25 gan anelu am Dan-y-Bwlch, lle bydd egwyl o ychydig dros awr cyn y daith yn ôl, gan gyrraedd Blaenau Ffestiniog am tua 16:40. Bydd y trên yn cael ei dynnu gan injan wahanol ar pob cyfeiriad – gan roi’r cyfle i chi deithio tu ôl i ‘Linda’ a ‘Blanche’ ar yr un diwrnod..!
*SYLWCH: Rhaid i gwsmeriaid sy’n teithio ar drên drigolion lleol ddod â phrawf o breswyliad (e.e. Trwydded Yrru) ar y diwrnod i ddangos wrth y ddesg ‘check-in’.
Mae tocynnau trên trigolion lleol i Dan-y-Bwlch nawr ar werth a gellir eu prynu o ‘Y Caban’ ar Blatfform Blaenau Ffestiniog: Oedolion £10 – Plant £1 (Sylwch, bydd cyfyngiad o 160 sedd a bydd tocynnau’n cael eu gwerthu ar sail y cyntaf i’r felin)
Ni chodir tâl am reidiau troed plat, ond croesewir rhoddion bob amser. Does dim angen archebu unrhyw un o’r gweithgareddau ymlaen llaw chwaith…
Dewch gyda ffrindiau a theulu i ymuno yn yr hwyl – edrychwn ymlaen at eich gweld yn ystod y dydd..!
