Great British Railway Journeys - Conwy Valley 2of2

Great British Railway Journeys -
Conwy Valley part 2 of 2 (copy).

Let the train take you for a 'jolt' along the lovely Conwy Valley from Llandudno, on the North coast of Wales, to Blaenau Ffestiniog where the standard-gauge Conwy Valley Railway (Part of the National Rail Network) shares its Southern terminus with the Northern terminus of the narrow-gauge Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railway. The second part features the Welsh Slate Industry at Blaenau, and travel onwards to Porthmadog on the Ffestiniog Railway.

The railways greatly changed the lives of Britons (Welsh) during the early 19th Century, as Michael Portillo explains.
