--- old post above --- --- new post below ---This is just north of Dinas station on the Welsh Highland Railway (WHR), a truly excellent line.
I would consider taking a train to Porthmadog [[stn]PTM[/stn]] and walking through the town to Porthmadog Harbour for a WHR train.
Or perhaps to Minfford [[stn]MFF[/stn]] and change there for Ffestiniog Railway to Porthmadog Harbour, and from there the WHR to Dinas (subject to trains running on the dates in question).
However it would be considerably quicker for you to take a bus from Bangor [[stn]BNG[/stn]] on the North Wales coast.
Perhaps a compromise may be a round-trip?
Thnks guys so appreciate the help
Merry Christmas

Hi just to recap you say take a train to ptm where are you suggesting we go from ?
Don't rely on the WHR - only 3 trains per day, maximum !! Much quicker to go to Bangor and take a bus.
See http://www.gwynedd.gov.uk/gwy_doc.asp?cat=2567&doc=27346&language=1 for details of buses. Through buses from Bangor to Bontnewydd are routes 1 and X32. [ More frequent service available by changing at Caernarvon as Polarbear said ] From the Plas Dinas website it looks to me like the place itself is actually nearer to Dinas than Bontnewydd - you'll have to ask them which is the nearest bus stop.Hi bangor then the bus to where ?
Christmas service on the WHR consist of one round trip per day from Caernarvon to Porthmadog. After Jan 1st there is no service at all until the middle of February ! see www.festrail.co.ukI am thinking from all comments to get on near the newbourgh arms and travel to port madoc and return to the pub ? Can we do this in a day ?
