	The Welsh Highland Railway (Porthmadog)
		Porthmadog is a picturesque Welsh town situated 'in the corner' where the Lleyn peninsula meets the main welsh coast, a delightful tourist centre in its own right the town also boasts three railway stations.
		The earliest and perhaps the most famous is the Ffestiniog Railway's Harbour Station but Porthmadog also has a Railtrack station linking it to the national rail network and, just across the road, the Welsh Highland Railway's new station.
		The Welsh Highland is very much a railway in process of restoration, currently under a mile separates the railways headquarters from its more remote terminus at Pen y Mount farm but the rail journey, normally behind historic steam haulage, is well worthwhile.
