Great Little Trains of Wales
Posted: 01 May 2017, 20:07
I've just completed the 'set' of travelling on all the 'Great Little Trains of Wales' (as defined by their discount card scheme) in a time of:
364 days, 1 hour, 25 minutes.
Starting point - Porthmadog (Welsh Highland Heritage Railway)
Finishing Point - Llanfair Caerenion
However there are a number of caveats:
1) One station - Snowdon Summit - was not visited as it was closed at the time of my visit as the café was shut and apparently trains only go there when the cafe's open!
2) Several request stops on the Ffestiniog, Welsh Highland, Bala Lake, Vale of Rheidol and Talyllyn were not stopped at.
3) Private transport was used to visit a number of lines.
