Looking forward to it, here's hoping for some sustained rain between now and then...

 

The gala timetable is now available https://www.festrail.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/FR70-TT-simple.pdf

 

By the looks of it, this event should be something spectacular. I know people have commented on the high ticket prices, but I do feel you get value for money, especially if you're a society member.

Also nice to see that, unlike previous events, they don't appear to be restricting the 'service trains' to pre-booked passengers only, and instead allowing them to be used by rover ticket holders, definitely boosts the value for money.

 

Yes, to add to what I was saying in the F&WHR thread it is better than I first expected as it is 'free access' to both lines with your rover. I think that is the first time I have seen them do such a thing for an event.

 

On the Saturday, at 10.05 & 14.05 there are advertised arrivals from Blaenau Ffestiniog along with a same time departure for Caernarfon - can these be considered viable connections??

 

Looking at the WTT, they are advertised as 10:02 and 14:02 arrivals, so yes.

 

Will be the NG 15 134 haul any trains during the Weekend please?

 

Yes, they can be found in the public loco roster or WTT

 

Thank you very much. I didn't expect that F&WHR would publish the roster.

 

Yes, I am surprised they did too! Good on them
