Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railways July 2018

Footage from the F&WHR during July 2018. Whilst up on holiday volunteering on the WHHR, I took some time to see the passing trains between Porthmadog and Caernarfon, and the other side of the Cob between Porthmadog and Blaenau Ffestiniog. Seen in this video:
- SAR NG/G16 Garratt 87
- Double Fairlie 'Merddin Emrys'
- Double Fairlie 'David Lloyd George'
- Penrhyn Hunslet No.589 'Blanche'
- L&B Manning Wardle E190 'Lyd'
- Funkey 'Vale of Ffestiniog'

How do people living within a mile's radius of Porthmadog put up with that blinking warbler? It's like a blinking air raid siren.

Linking the two railways seem to be a cool idea at first, but then, well, the level crossing alarm plunges all that.
I would have still made a link between the two railways, but then I would have made a big station dedicated to the WHR, while only using the link as a way to exchange engines/rolling stock and also use on special occasions like a train running through both railways.
While the WHHR was made of disgruntled FR members, they seem to have accidental made the right idea in making a separate station like I said earlier.

I bet it was bloody Health & Safety that insisted on it.
