Plas-y-Nant Halt Opens

Plas-y-Nant Halt has been built with the enthuasiastic backing and financial sponsorship of neighbours of the Railway, notably the by Mike Worthington and the Friends of Plas-y-Nant together with members of the community of Betws Garmon.  Construction work was carried out by a local contractor earlier in the year.  As part of the opening ceremony, the restored seat at the halt was dedicated in memory of a former leader at Plas y Nant.  It is believed that the seat came from the Plas-y-Nant Halt of the original WHR.   The opening was attended by a large party from Plas-y-Nant and the village of Betws Garmon.  Over 100 people then made a return journey to Rhyd Ddu on the Plas-y-Nant Express.

Festiniog Railway Company press release, May 9th 2005:

"We are delighted to announce that a new Halt has been constructed at Plas y Nant, on the Rheilffordd Eryri / Welsh Highland Railway, and paid for by the Friends of Plas y Nant, residents of Betws Garmon and a private family Trust. This tremendous gift to the area will benefit all residents and visitors to the Snowdonia National Park. The foresight of the benefactors in contributing to the future needs of the beautifully located community by their generous donation of a new Halt is much appreciated by the Railway. The addition of Plas y Nant Halt to the Rheilffordd Eryri / Welsh Highland Railway will further promote the area of outstanding natural beauty to everyone.

Michael Whitheouse, Chairman of Rheilffordd Festiniog Railway said: "This contribution to our community plan for the region is very welcome. It develops further the integration of the Rheilffordd Eryri / Welsh Highland Railway with the local community and furthers the objectives of the Welsh Assembly in sponsoring the reconstruction of the railway to Porthmadog to encourage tourists to the region to travel by train. The opening of the halt coincides with the Community Rail day being celebrated nationwide the same weekend."
