On Wednesday 18th June, we will be visiting North Wales for a guided tour of the Boston Lodge Works of the Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Railways.

We will meet at Porthmadog Station at 1.45pm for a visit lasting about 2 hours which begins with a short train ride over The Cob to Boston Lodge Works where we will see locomotives and rolling stock for both the FR and WHR being maintained and of course there will be plenty of photo opportunities available. The Works are at the forefront of narrow gauge railway technology and they are responsible for building many of the railway carriages in use on this and other similar railways.  At the end of the visit our train will take us back again to Porthmadog Station.

The charge for this visit is £30 per head (£35 for non-members) and payment details together with final joining instructions will be sent out later.

For those who require lunch beforehand, there are numerous places to eat locally, including on the station itself and for those who require overnight accommodation, the following are recommended:

•    The Royal Sportsman Hotel, Porthmadog     
•    The Golden Fleece Inn, Tremadog 

For those wishing to stay for a few days, there is an event the same week to mark the 70th anniversary of the re-commencement of services on the Ffestiniog Railway, although this does not form part of our organised visit.  Click here for more information.
