INTRODUCTION
Few former railway routes in the British Isles rival those from Ruabon to Barmouth and from Bala Junction to Blaenau Ffestiniog for their natural beauty and for their wealth of historical interest, much of it brought to life again today by the efforts of preservation volunteers.
Historically the Ruabon to Barmouth line gave the Great Western Railway its highly prized access to the Welsh coast and Barmouth for holiday traffic. The route also passed through some of the most delightful landscapes in Wales, including the Vale of Llangollen, Bala Lake and the picturesque Mawddach Estuary, dominated by Cader Idris on its southern side.
