Join the Ffestiniog Railway Society to directly support the oldest and best narrow gauge railway still operating. As a member you receive a quarterly high quality magazine (click here), subsidised volunteer hostel rates (click here) and enjoy travel privileges.

The Ffestiniog Railway at present allows Society members the following travel privileges:

Life Members: Free - First or Third Class travel on the Ffestiniog Railway

Ordinary Members: £8.00 First Class return. Unlimited free Third Class return tickets.

One friend may accompany a member by paying the privilege rates (currently £6.00). Ordinary members are limited to three occasions and should have a P-series number cancelled from the membership card.

Members are asked to avoid busy trains whenever possible, and to obtain travel tickets before boarding trains at manned stations. Members’ privileges are modified on special occasions such as Galas and Santa trains.

Welsh Highland Railway (Caernarfon-Beddgelert): Ordinary and Life Members pay the privilege rate of £7.35 Third Class Return, unless they are also Members of the Welsh Highland Railway Society in which case they are subject to that Society’s privileges. Special provisions may apply from March 2009.

Talyllyn Railway: Reciprocal free travel facilities exist.

Gift Aid is claimable on all membership types allowing the Society to claim 28p on every £1 if you are a UK tax payer.
