SNOWDONIAN 2024 – Steam train footplate ride on the Ffestiniog Railway

A very special footplate ride on the Ffestiniog Railway’s Snowdonian. A special steam train that travels the entire length of the Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Railways in a single day. 80 miles of glorious steam in one of the most beautiful parts of the British Isles – North Wales and Snowdonia National Park – Eryri to give it its proper name.

Richard joins Driver Matt and Fireman Tim on the footplate of Hunslet 2-4-0 Linda from Porthmadog to Tan y Bwlch, leading as the pilot engine from Minffordd, on a glorious April day in 2024. Sit back, turn up the volume, and bask in some wonderful Snowdonian narrow gauge steam!
