I last visited the Ffestiniog Railway back in 1968 with my geography teacher, Mr Heywood, who at the time I recall, was a volunteer on the railway. I have since learnt that he went on to become a General Manager with the company before retiring in 2005.

The railway continues to have all the charm and character that it had back then, for which the following selection of photographs taken this year, certainly show.

| Earl of Merioneth / Iarll Meiriontdd returning to Porthmadog Station. |
Would suggest that the penultimate photograph is at Tanygrisiau, rather than Blaenau Ffestiniog.
