Photojournal - MEC Winde visits Ffestiniog

In Early November, Minister Alan Winde visited the Ffestiniog Railway in Wales. Whilst there, he toured the railway's stations, Works and platforms. He also engaged with several high level members of the Railway, who gave excellent advice on methods to save the Choo-Tjoe, and make it an economically viable operation.
