Sponsor a Sleeper

For the last 5 years we have embarked on a major programme of upgrading the sleepers that support the rails, completing about a ¼ mile of the railway each time over the winter. Despite our successful Covid-19 appeal, the pandemic has left us short of funds for this vital work, please help us by clicking the link below to sponsor a sleeper via our online shop.

Winter Work Programme

Posted: 23rd November 2020

Our running season was cut short during September by the introduction of the Welsh two-week lockdown over the school half-term period. This enabled us to start our winter work programme slightly earlier than planned.

The work planned for this winter includes:

The rebuilding of two coaches
Improving fencing along the line
Re-sleepering the points at Llangower station
Bringing the new Llangower signalbox into service
Relaying ¼ of a mile of track

If you would be interested in volunteering to help with any of the above activities, then please let us know by emailing our General Manager at david.jones@bala-lake-railway.co.uk

Beautiful Welsh Countryside

Rheilffordd Llyn Tegid (Bala Lake Railway) offers a delightful 9 mile return journey alongside Bala Lake, through the beautiful Snowdonia National Park. Our narrow gauge steam trains give excellent views of the lake amid its surrounding scenery including the nearby mountains of Arenig Fawr, Aran Benllyn and Aran Fawddwy. Visit the ‘Your Journey‘ page to find out more.
