(Whilst I have worked with Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railways recently, this is post is done simply because I bloody love this amazing little railway)<\/em><\/p>\n

Every October the Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railways<\/a> host a marvellous Victorian Weekend. Normally the weekend would be full of activity with steam trains running up and down the lines, people in Victorian costumes on the platform (there was even an appearance by Queen Victoria* herself a few year ago) and lots and lots of people just loving the gala. Of course because of Covid, the gala couldn’t be quite the same but it didn’t stop the Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railways putting on a fantastic Bygones Weekend!<\/p>\n

* obviously not the real Queen!<\/em><\/p>\n

Friday – Chasing Trains ALL Day<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Me being the click happy person that I am, managed to wangle a volunteering job with the marketing guys on Friday. I had an amazing time! I pretty much ended up in every station (except Blaenau itself funnily enough, oh and Dduallt of course). Started the day at Porthmadog Harbour Station, went to Penrhyn, up to to Tan y Bwlch, to Tanygrisiau and Glan y Pwll, back down to Tanygrisiau (where we stopped for tea), back to Tan y Bwlch (lunch!), to Rhiw Goch farm, back to Minffordd, to Boston Lodge and then finish the day with a panad at Porthmadog Harbour Station.<\/p>\n
