Welcome to the Bristol Group of the Ffestiniog Railway Society. The Group provides a forum for all those who live in and around the Bristol and surrounding area and are passionate about the UK’s leading Heritage Railway.
Bristol Group Members are involved on both the Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Railways as volunteers. Whether sanding down woodwork in the Heritage Carriage Shop, guarding trains, producing Whistle Boards at home or attending local model railway or other shows, we are always in need of more support.
