Ffestiniog Travel
Ffestiniog Travel was established in 1974. It is a sister company to the Ffestiniog Railway (FR), both organisations being owned by the Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railways Trust which is a registered charity. Profits go to support the preservation of the FR and Welsh Highland Railway (WHR).〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.festrail.co.uk/ffestiniogtravel.htm )〕
==History==
Ffestiniog Travel’s origins lie with the FR when its base at Harbour Station in Porthmadog, North Wales, first became a train ticketing office for British Rail. The FR thus became more than just a heritage railway and once again provided an important service to the local community, issuing tickets for travel not only to other local railway stations but further afield as far as London. Ffestiniog Travel continues to provide a ticket only service today.
In 1973 the FR was appointed by British Rail’s Shipping and International Services Division to sell Sealink Ferries and Continental rail tickets with a challenging sales target. In order to meet BR’s target the FR decided to sell as many tickets as possible on the longest Sealink Ferries route which was Harwich to the Hook of Holland. To do this it devised a group holiday via the Hook of Holland to the narrow gauge railways of the Swiss Alps for FR supporters. Hotel accommodation had to be arranged and onward rail journeys and a day-to-day itinerary established to ensure the tour included trips on the railway lines with Alpine scenery. This tour proved very popular with 68 bookings. And so, in October 1974, what was intended as a one-off tour to the Swiss Alps became the first of many rail holidays and Ffestiniog Travel was born.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ffestiniogtravel.com/index.php/about-us/history )〕
