The Bala Lake Railway is a narrow-gauge steam railway running along the shores of Bala Lake (Llyn Tegid) in North Wales in the heart of the Snowdonia National Park. The round trip of 9 miles takes approximately one hour from Llanuwchllyn station and affords wonderful views of the lake and surrounding scenery. All of our advertised passenger services are hauled by steam locomotives. We have four resident Quarry Hunslet locomotives; Holy War, Maid Marian and Alice are in service, although Holy War is due for a major overhaul starting this summer. The fouth engine, George B is under long-term restoration. The railway is also home to Triassic, which is under major overhaul. The train offers both enclosed and open seating, plus facilities for the disabled.
