Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Railway crossing warning The car was photographed following the train across Britannia Bridge at Porthmadog, Gwynedd, on Monday morning 8 June 2011 ...

The narrow-gauge line, which was traditionally used in more challenging terrain than standard 4ft 8½in gauge tracks, will be installed by volunteers from Alstom, Ffestiniog and Statfold Barn.

The original Van 1 was made for FfWHR by Birmingham-based Brown Marshall & Co. As it was broken up in 1921, the railway’s volunteers built a replica at Boston Lodge, which was completed in 2004.

In addition to the narrow-gauge railway, organisers have announced a 15in minimum-gauge railway, inspired by Sir Arthur Heywood's experimental railway at Duffield Bank near Derby, will also feature.

Cadw notes the station's Grade II listing is due to it being a Victorian railway station retaining "relatively unaltered character" and part of the "highly-important" narrow-gauge Ffestiniog Railway.

The Ffestiniog Railway Company appealed to the Planning and Environment Decision Wales [PEDW] over a decision by the Eryri National Park Authority to reject plans for the new station.
