Winter Work Programme
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
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.
The Bala Lake Railway Trust is raising £2.5 million as part of the Red Dragon Project to construct the extension of the Bala Lake Railway to Bala Town Station.
