This joint line comprises of the 25 mile long Welsh Highland and 14 mile long Festiniog Railway, together with the rarely filmed 1899 original route from Glan-Y-Pwll Junction to Dinas, the Festiniog's original terminus in Blaenau Festiniog. This joint line is not only the longest preserved railway and narrow gauge railway in the British Isles, but it is also the only heritage railway that crosses the BR / National Network on a flat crossing too!
