To the summit of Snowdon by rail - 4k

[@kareneastaugh2365]

To say I did this trip with my late boyfriend is an amazing experience I will never forget. God bless Dave and thank you. Xx

[@davidainsworth]

Sorry for your loss

[@concept5631]

Sorry for your loss. Hope your doing alright.

[@charlie-j4o7u]

What's he late for?

[@elixier33]

Walked up there as a kid with the school on a school trip. I can confirm this is an absolutely stunning place and quite hard on your legs at least when you're 14 years old.

[@llamas3729]

It was such a good walk in my youth, maybe one day I'll enjoy this.

[@jpro3000]

Great video with some lovely views, thanks for posting!

[@DavideoVisits]

Hi jpro3000, thank you for your kind comment.

[@pygmygiant]

Thank you for posting this, I’ve always been curious what this trip is like. Such a beautiful view!

[@davidhenderson1073]

I went up in the late 1950's. It was foggy, so I don't remember those wonderful views, must try and get up there a second time one of these days. Thanks for sharing.

[@DavideoVisits]

Thank you for sharing your memory of Snowdon.

[@maggie2759]

I went there a few years ago.. absolutely stunning place and reaching the summit is so exciting.

[@CrazieChick43]

Oh my goodness! My legs were turning to jelly just looking at that view from the summit. Never been up there before. Thank you for the video. Some beautiful views.

[@eggeggwhatsinside5002]

And you chose the right day too Amazing stunning view

[@DavideoVisits]

Thank you for your comment.

[@llamas3729]

Thank you for this...

[@cymru507]

The train ride up is exciting, to be sure. But hiking up to the summit is so very satisfying.

[@genesis1765]

how long would it take. walking slowly just asking

[@gunamerstravels]

3-4 hours I think. @@genesis1765

[@llamas3729]

Under 4 hours with high wind against you, highly recommend.

[@DEEN133]

David Jefferson clear photography with stunning scenery brilliant going there soon.👍

[@kayzar293]

Lovely view. I've climbed Snowdon a few times. Never taken the railway up I don't remember it going all the way to the summit. You've inspired me to take my young girls up the railway this summer

[@unlucky-up-5511]

Im love snowdon mountain railway 😊

[@calamity075]

Looking really cool, I actually Walked up the entire Mountain Once. Was an awesome experience

[@doyoumind9356]

Thanks for posting this .. looks amazing 😀😀

Thank you.

[@russellmayers5966]

Wow,I was also there on May 20 2019 on the early train. It was so unbelievably clear that day

[@DavideoVisits]

Yes, we were very lucky with the weather that week.

[@Richard-mr8cy]

Thx for posting. Very good video.

[@wellifthemediasaysit]

Stunning, but...boooooo....you can walk up the thing!

[@MrYokahama]

Thanks for posting . will be heading there next summer for sure

[@DavideoVisits]

Thank you for your comment. I hope you enjoy your visit next summer.

[@8ballphil150]

railway reopening in june or july . closed since covid . the last couple of miles have been replaced .

[@rajeswarivijayan2386]

super journey

[@thischannelhasnoname5401]

I’ve walked up snowdon a few times, often seen the train and thought I’d take the train up one day. I checked the online prices and thought it was ridiculously expensive and then they have the cheek to charge for parking! Great video though!

[@DavideoVisits]

Thank you for your comment.

[@AssassinGreen]

Strangely, that's what I thought.

[@dirkdiggler9964]

Love Wales wish I could move there

[@elite4702]

Did this before - only mountain I’ve ever been to the top of

[@TLgacy]

Im going this friday as a fundraiser with my school

[@AsItReallyIs]

absolutely stunning footage, thank you for sharing it. I noticed some of the trains on the way down did not appear to have windows you could pull down, in order to film out the windows, which is disappointing. One question I do have is did you use a gimbal to film this or just the camera itself? Many Thanks

[@DavideoVisits]

Thank you for your kind comment. The camera was a DJI Osmo Pocket. This has an integrated gimbal.

[@byronhall5145]

Wow, how long do you get to spend up there before you have to get back on the train ?

[@DavideoVisits]

At the top, you get 30 minutes to enjoy refreshments at the station cafe and admire the spectacular panoramic views to the valleys below.

[@byronhall5145]

@@DavideoVisits just found out they don't let dogs on the train. Do you know if the end point can be reached by car ?

[@DavideoVisits]

@@byronhall5145 You can walk up but you can't get to the top by car. www.mountainwalk.co.uk/walkingsnowdon.html

[@kians717]

I did crib goch recently and the train wasn’t on 🤦‍♂️🙁

[@hystoryan]

How many stops are along the way? Just curious

[@DavideoVisits]

The train stopped a few times to let trains coming in the other direction pass as it is mostly single track. However, passengers can only get out at either end.

[@straightup1234]

Can you just turn up & pay or do we need to book the train?

[@DavideoVisits]

Tickets can be purchased on the day subject to availability. However, during school holidays tickets can sell out weeks in advance, and they also get very busy in spells of fine weather. I would suggest looking on their website to see what is available before setting out. snowdonrailway.co.uk/

[@straightup1234]

@@DavideoVisits thanks for reply 👍 🙏

[@ncs8730]

A chance to watch people, mostly.

[@allenjohnson7686]

I would love to go on that train to the top but at £39 each for a 4mile ride it's taking the piss. Even if they did just the ride up for a tenner I would do it. But they are money grabbing hard here.

[@DavideoVisits]

Thank you for your comment. You can walk up and down free of charge. A lot of people do as can be seen in my video.

[@dianerogers8805]

Have a walk up to the summit. Doesn't cost a thing, except your food and drink.

[@pygmygiant]

Blimey! I was thinking of getting the train up whilst my friends walk this summer and meeting them at the summit but at that price I think I’ll stay at home!

[@allenjohnson7686]

@@pygmygiant how much must they make per trip. well into the thousands. they know most people cant manage the walk up so they punish them. If that train was in europe it would be a 3rd of the cost or less.

[@derekofive9676]

@@DavideoVisits Can you go up on the train and walk down, if so, what is the cost of the single trip?

[@Bokoyo]

Is it disable friendly place? TIA.

I've hiked snowdon so many times on many different paths but never caught the train. I will get the train when my legs can no longer carry me the summit

[@DavideoVisits]

Welsh Adventurer, Good for you.

[@AIRNATION1]

Hello! Beautiful video could you tell me how long does it take to get there from London and how much cost the train ride. Thank you

[@beakytwitch7905]

You have to book ahead - is always capacity booked...

[@JedRichards]

3 hours from London Euston to Bangor, the nearest station to Llanberis. Buy you ticket a month or two in advance, its quite reasonable. As for the ticket up Snowdon, I'm not sure :)

Giant nephilim under the mountain..

[@MMKLYH]

A train to the top of the mountain where is the fun in that

[@MultiDoctordeath]

They should help preserve the top of Snowdon by shutting the railway. This would stop thousands of people from going up and ruining the summit.

[@carforumwanker]

too expensive and it fills the summit with "day trippers' .

[@Danny_Transition_Patrol]

The money they charge has to go towards maintaining the engines and probably paying the staff if it’s not mostly volunteers like these steam railways usually are! Get the early bird train, that’s half price!
