About festrail.co.uk

Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railways operates two heritage railways in Snowdonia National Park, North Wales: the Ffestiniog Railway, a 13½-mile line from Porthmadog harbour to Blaenau Ffestiniog, and the Welsh Highland Railway, which runs 25 miles from Caernarfon through Beddgelert to Porthmadog. Its services use historic steam engines and carriages, including first class Pullman carriages built in its own Boston Lodge workshops.

Customers are visitors and tourists who buy passenger tickets for scenic journeys and seasonal services, such as Santa trains, a Christmas carriage grotto, the Christmas Aberglaslyn and Winter Wanderer trips. Station gift shops and refreshments are also offered at Porthmadog Harbour Station.

The Ffestiniog Railway has almost 200 years of history and its infrastructure is part of the UNESCO "Slate landscape of North Wales" World Heritage Site. A new Caernarfon Station, costing £3.5 million, opened in 2019. The company is recruiting for an office manager and personal assistant to the General Manager at Porthmadog Harbour Station and a permanent way technician at its Minffordd infrastructure depot.

Product: Passenger steam train services on the Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland railways, including seasonal Christmas trains and carriage grotto rides.
