	North Wales Coast Circuit
		As well as the main station on the Cambrian Coast route, there is also the Welsh Highland Railway (Porthmadog) station and the Harbour station (shown here with locomotive Linda) of the Ffestiniog Railway.
		Tywyn is the terminus of the narrow-gauge Talyllyn Railway, whose Wharf terminus is a short walk from the main line station.
		The old railway track from Morfa Mawddach at the south end of the bridge towards Dolgellau, closed in the 1960s, is now a track for walkers, horses and cycles, known as the Mawddach Trail, seen here at Penmaenpool where the old signalbox and a signal have been retained as relics.

	The WHR route: Beddgelert to Porthmadog
		The route of the Porthmadog cross-town link with the Ffestiniog Railway's Harbour Station is mostly that of the Croesor Tramway, and passes through the largely non-residential north-eastern edge of the town.
		The view is towards Porthmadog; trains for Harbour will pass to the left of the Pen y Mount station building in the middle distance, whereas the WHR(P) line runs to its right.
		Approaching Porthmadog the trackbed runs parallel for a distance with the existing WHR (Porthmadog) line operated by the WHR Ltd., passing its Pen y Mount station (not a station on the original line; the name comes from the adjacent farm).

	The Welsh Highland Railway (Porthmadog)
		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.
		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 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.

		The (present) Welsh Highland Railway Society was formed in 1993 as a supporters' body for the FR/TCL project.

		The work-base may move from Dinas to the south end of the line once the line to Beddgelert is complete.
