I did this journey on a primary school trip in the mid 1970s. We stayed at a Youth Hostel at Pont y Pant (Lledr House) but also visited the Slate mine at blaenau ffestiniog. Happy days although I remember it rained a lot! Thanks for posting

I was handling the section between Glan Conwy and Blaenau FFestiniog in Simsig recently . I am so happy that I was able to see the golden days of the Conwy Valley Line . Love from India .

I'm very pleased to have given pleasure to someone in the great land of India - many thanks for your favourable comment.

Yet another gem from team Snowdon. I think the loco at 1.07 is a Black 5 rather than a 'Scot'. It's good that all of the line covered here is still extant and is host to the occasional steam special as well as serving the tourist industry and local community.

What a brilliant film. Thank you. I love this line! Amazing it managed to survive.

Possibly my favourite part of the world and truly wonderful film. Very much appreciated. Thank you.

In the 1970's I so took it for granted that I could always sit in the front seat of a dmu looking over the driver's shoulder at the route ahead. One of many things that Health & Safety Officers have stolen from our way of life.

Wonderful to have a new production from yourselves thank you.

It's great to see this. The change from postcard idyll to industrial wasteland via the tunnel, is indelible on the memory. It's austere, foreboding, another planet, barren and desolate, like the shale formations on Mars.

The transformer was for ffestiniog power station.

[@stevengorick187]

I like that the narrator mistakes a Black Five for a Royal Scot
