Ffestiniog Railway – May Day Weekend – Part 1

Over the bank holiday weekend, we visited the Ffestiniog Railway as they were holding a special event. This would see 10 locomotives in steam across the Ffestiniog Railway and an intensive timetable in operation.

In this first part, from Saturday, you can see lots of action, including shuttles from Blaenau Ffestiniog, the Members Train, double headers, and much more!

Locomotives in Steam are:

• David Lloyd George (built 1992 – Boston Lodge Works)
