It starts at Slate Museum, back to Llanberis then along North shore of lake before returning to slate museum with a brief stop at picnic site along way to stretch legs.
We were lucky to get large front half compartment of carriage to ourselves (probably due to pram) which is wheel chair accessible. Beautifully vanished interior. That is mirrored glass at the end.
You pay per compartment which vary hugely in size. The carriages were all different, with each having different seating arrangements, with screens between each compartment. Most compartments had 4 seats.
Cafe at station was mediocre.
At the moment tickets purchases are for a compartment that will at a push seat 6 for the short run up and down the lake.
You can get right up close to the steam engines and all kids there seemed to love it
Excellent access for wheelchair users with a ramp onto the train if required.
Stunning views of the lake and a round trip takes about an hour.
Small but functional cafe serving teas, coffees and snacks but not main meals.
Gift shop too.
Friendly, helpful, welcoming staff.
Parking is free for disabled.
Take note that toilets for the whole site including the Slate Museum.are situated in the centre of the car park. There are no toilets at the station.
Good value for money and a nice way to spend an afternoon. Ideally we would have liked more of a destination at the end, instead of just coming back the other way, but I understand that it is historically a working line, so they didn't necessarily think of tourism then!
Sweet little railway with helpful, knowledgeable and friendly staff.
Just across the road from the Snowdon railway and we did both trains in the same day, with plenty of time for lunch in between.
Well worth a visit.
