Ffestiniog Railway Snowdonian Limited

As you may be aware, on Saturday the 11th June, The Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railways ran a special train called the ‘Snowdonian Limited’.

The ‘Snowdonian Limited’ was for pre-booked ticket holders only. The 10 hour journey ran from Porthmadog – Caernarfon – Blaenau Ffestiniog – Porthmadog.

  • The Ffestiniog section of the trip was hauled by 3 steam engines, , Prince and

We followed the train throughout the journey and you can see the highlights of the day in our 30 minute video above.
