Rode this line in 1961, steam hauled from Birmingham, double headed, train split at Dovey Junction, one part south, we travelled north. Grand memories!

Excellent films - given me some ideas for walks in the summer

Absolutely wonderful. Thank you so much for making it available. Richard Green, thank you filming and recording it. I am sure Richard would have been delighted if he had known the Welsh Highland Railway was to be reinstated as it is today. I recall walking the track bed in the Beddgelert area prior to its rejuvenation.

In the 1960s we had several holidays at Criccieth. I remember well the Cambrian coast express and the change from steam to DMUs and de-staffing of stations.
