    A reminder that there is only one Welsh Highland Railway. It should not be plural.

    Thanks.

    Why bother being so pedantic? He saw your first post, I'm sure.

    Surely you have read his other posts. There are one or two on here who seem to take more pleasure pointing out others minor inaccuracies than adding much to a debate or a comment of interest. i will probably be picked up now on my spelling or punctuation.

    What struck me watching the videos was the disparagy in loadings . Some trains looked very full, other comparatively empty. I presume that videos were taken at different times over a various days but it must be a logistical nightmare trying to come up with a time table to meet demand as the length of line must hinder the ability have more frequent departures around cerain times if one train can only do trips five hours apart.

    Presumably some of this will be alleviated when the Port section is finished as I think Port to Beddgelert will prove a popular trip and may alter travel patterns altough I am sure the WHR hope they are additional passengers rather than ones enticed away from the FR to the current trip

    Andrew is remarkably shy about his professional relevance to this thread.
