On 5th June 2006 I took the Snowdon Mountain Railway to the Summit of Snowdon - and what an adventure for my family it was! Since going as a child I wanted to take my family back to experience the stunning views. On the day we travelled it was cloudy but this only added to the excitement.
Sure the carriages are a bit tight but it is a narrow gauge railway so I was told by the friendly guard on the train. We sat on the one side of the carriage on the way up and the other on the way down so we cold appreciate the views.
There is a mixture of steam and diesel locomotives at the railway. We travelled on number 12 George that was a diesel but the way you get up there doesn't matter. All other 50 or so passengers seemed to share the same excitement as us. The carriage commentary telling us about the journey and scenery was great.
I would recommend this unmissable journey to anybody in the area. The only disappointment was having to book so far in advance - it is however worth the wait and the price!
