North Wales Circular Trip

[Big Chris]

Hi,

Me and the other half and two friends are wanting to do the circular rail trip around North Wales starting at Bangor to Llandudno Junction, down the Conwy Valley along the Ffestiniog then down the Cambrian Coast Line to Shrewsbury and back up via Wrexham and Chester then along the coast to Bangor.

Trouble is I can't find the price of the Ffestiniog Rover that covers this journey. Three of us have 16-25 railcards if that makes any difference. Does anyone know the price for one or all of us (4 adults, 3 with railcards)

Thanks in advance
Chris

The National Rail sit eis now useless if you want to know the costs of Rovers and Rangers, although apparently the lack of fares is currently being 'attended to' - whatever that means
