Train Services – 2025

Mountain Spirit / Ysbryd y Mynydd

Porthmadog – Blaenau Ffestiniog & Return

Starting at Porthmadog, ride the full length Ffestiniog Railway. Modern carriages from our own workshops and normally hauled by one of our iconic double fairlie locomotives, this train offers excellent views of the beautiful Vale of Ffestiniog with an interval at Blaenau Ffestiniog, the slate quarrying town that once “Roofed the World”.

The Aberglaslyn / Yr Aberglaslyn

Porthmadog – Beddgelert & Return

Steaming through the famous Aberglaslyn Pass on its way to Beddgelert, this wonderfully scenic journey includes a mix of classic Snowdonia scenery with harbour views, farmland and wide vistas of the mountains, before plunging into a tunnel and out into the pass, high above the tumbling river.

Woodland Wanderer / Crwydrwr y Goedwig

Porthmadog – Tan-y-Bwlch & Return

This is a heritage style service through the heart of the woodlands of the Snowdonia National Park, offering wonderful views of the Vale of Ffestiniog. It is great for families and those with dogs, giving around an hour break for a walk along the nature trail and refreshments at the popular Tan-y-Bwlch Tea Room.

The Harbourmaster / Yr Harbwrfeistr

Porthmadog – Caernarfon & Return

Starting at Porthmadog Harbour station and travelling 25 miles ‘coast to coast’ through the National Park and across the foothills of Snowdon / Yr Wyddfa to its destination beside the harbour and castle at Caernarfon. A pre-order picnic basket service and time to explore this historic walled town make a great day out.

The Victorian / Y Fictoraidd

Porthmadog – Tan-y-Bwlch & Return

Our Victorian Train service gives you a Vintage Ffestiniog experience, riding to Tan-y-Bwlch in some of our beautifully preserved heritage carriages in the original ornate livery of the Victorian era, and hauled by a traditional Double Fairlie Ffestiniog locomotive through majestic forests as the train steams its way up the Vale of Ffestiniog.
