I took my father in law in September / October 2009 for a day trip.

We went Telford – Machynlleth, then Machynlleth – Portmadoc. A gentrle stroll down Portmadoc High St which included a browse of some half dozen charity shops (old peoples thing !!!) as well as lunch.

We then caught a ten car Festiniog train hauled by a Fairlie through to Blaenau Ffestiniog, for a wonderful ride down the Conwy valley in an Arriva class 150.Final leg ofthe journey was a through train from Llandudno Junction back to Telford.

Users should ask for the Festiniog Round Robin ticket, or the add-on if they are travelling from East of Shrewsbury. A word of warning though – not all booking offices are clued up on the ticket. It is advisable to browse the ticket deal online, then take a print to the booking office with you.
