New ticketing arrangements in 2019 made life more difficult when starting your journey from Tan-y-Bwlch. We were well down the platform when 0-4-4-0T No.12 DAFYDD LLOYD GEORGE ran in with the 11:35 from Blaenau Ffestiniog to Porthmadog on Tuesday 24th September. The guard made light work of providing the tickets and we were soon on our way.
