- On 4th May 2018, I took the first steam train of the year to the summit of Snowdon. Sitting at the front, I was able to use a camera that didn't affect the operation of the train or affect the staff - so managed to record this timelapse video. Usually the ascent takes an hour - this version takes just 4 minutes. The steam loco, "Padarn", No.6 of the Snowdon Mountain Railway barked and roared the entire way up; the views from either side are incredible and I can honestly say this is one of the most remarkable steam railway journeys of the UK. If you can get the chance - ride it. Cloud or clear, you'll not regret it.
I walked up Snowdon when i was about 5 yrs old with my parents and i still remember to this day watching the train go past and thinking "why are we not on that??" . I'm 48 now .
What a thoroughly wonderful perspective! Really enjoyed watching this.
Great video TimD, nice catch you on TH-cam, Thumbs up just for that, look forward. to seeing more Railway adventures from you. 👍
Thank you sir. Not quite off the bucket list but close enough for now.
Beautiful video! Thank you for sharing it!
Lovely footage, I have had Diesel haulage up to the Summit and back when I had some holiday in Conwy.
Really nice train journey, we’re actually walking Snowdon next week for the second time! We have subscribed and look forward to watching more 😀👍
That’s a beautiful video, thanks for sharing ♥️
Thanks for sharing, considering getting there today!
Been waiting for this for ages. Not your usual train journey!
I climbed Snowdon 2 years ago from the Llan eris Path beautiful mountain.. thank you.
thanks for uploading,thanks alot
WOW that mountainside scenery is Beautiful :o [Remind me to put See Snowdon mountain railway On my bucket list xD
Lovely video!
Thanks for this, especially as trains not going to top in 2021
Could you explain why they don’t go to the top now? Me and my partner went on this trip today and were quite disappointed that we only got to the point where (in the video), the train stops to let the haulage one pass. We were allowed off for 30 mins then went back down
@@AirsoftSolutions I believe it's due to covid. The summit station and cafe get packed with visitors so social distancing would be impossible. Neither the station nor cafe have been open since the train restarted.
Awesome images ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Fantastic
Superb!
Actually enjoyed that.
Great footage, loved the clouds swirling about. But anyway, what's the cafe like at the top..??
Too busy 🙄
You get ice in your drinks whether you like it or not.

Brilliant :)
Its already quite high in llanberis but the summit is more than 1000m
I have never climbed a mountain in my entire life!
The highest I have climbed is to the top of Cromer Church Tower ( 161ft ).
Mike Fuller give it a go well worth the effort. Stayed the night up there twice, second time the sun set and sun rise were absolutely fantastic.
Thanks Diane, love!
Very nice video, indeed, but I really regret that you didn’t upload the real-time version! The time-lapse with a factor of 16 and the missing sound both ruin the atmosphere of this one-hour ride. Is it possible to view the real-time video?
When I rode it, the clouds were lower and thicker, Very limited viewing, about 3 feet..
Would have loved to have seen this in real time.
At this very immportant time for everybody in the u.k. with Coronavirus dominating the news.
Personally if people from outside Wales like it so much, why do they not show more respect to
the places that they visit here in Wales. Yes, Wales is truly beautifull, sadly to see ignorant, selfish
tourists now arriving, no concern about keeping themselves, let alone others safe by wearing masks, keeping to distancing
leaving there rubbish here and there, parking their vehicles anywhere so they can get up Snowdon., Thirty pounds fine
is not enough for parking tickets it should be a lot more. Never do we hear abot locals having to be rescued in our Snowdonia
Park by, R.A.F Rescue, only tourists, same with RNLI not locals , BUT shame that we have them coming to Wales Land of Song
it is only their money that we are glad to see and goodridance to them afterwards. Have a safe journey back to England.
There is always an idiot like you pushing mask wearing. Bet you had your Covid jabs like a good little sheep too. No Covid jabs or masks here and I've had nothing. @janiap5235

what at the top of the summit
A cafe is at the summits top.
The top of Wales
Be better if the SMR sold tickets more like other heritage railways. The don’t do day tickets where you can hop on and off wherever you like.
Nathan N Farnell you wouldn't want to hop on and off there is not many places where you could do it. The train does cling to the mountain in places. If you want to take in the views from different places better to walk. I have done it 6 times
DIANE ROGERS I’d like to walk and ride, but it’s not easy to do both the same day.
Nathan N Farnell walk up and ride down or visa versa.
DIANE ROGERS I’d like to walk from Snowdon Ranger on the WHR to the summit then down to Llanberis, ride up and then walk down again!
Nathan N Farnell The WHR doesn't go to the top. Think you can get off that train near Rhyd Du and walk up from there.
This isn’t a timelapse
Great video. I've subbed your channel and would appreciate same. Thanks.
did anyone spot the lucky sheep lol
