John_Hughes Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I notice that the Northern Belle is advertising a trip from Brum to Portmeirion and the Ffestiniog in July. Can anyone advise me whether this is a Cambrian Lines excursion or travelling along the north Wales coast with a coach connection to Port? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edwin_m Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Or maybe Northern Belle to Blaenau and Ffestiniog to Portmeirion? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the suggestion, Edwin! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold TheSignalEngineer Posted April 9, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 9, 2013 On the same day they also advertise Llechwedd Slate Caverns or Blaenau Ffestiniog at Leisure, with the same departure time from Birmingham, Wolverhampton and Shrewsbury. The only question would be if it goes Shrewsbury-Crewe-Chester or Shrewsbury-Wrexham-Chester/Reverse to get to Llandudno Junction. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the suggestion, Edwin! John - the trip on the Ffestiniog followed by exploring the village, to me at least, says train to Ffestiniog. I bet the return coach is to Bangor and the train is boarded there, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_Hughes Posted April 10, 2013 Author Share Posted April 10, 2013 That does seem a reasonable route - thanks to all for their suggestions! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
