Merddin's Diary |
| Introduction
|
|
| Welcome to the new website to tell all
about Festiniog Railway Double Fairlie Merddin Emrys. The
previous site for Merddin had to be abandoned because of issues
with the web hosting company used which resulted in a period of
inactivity and then a move to a new host.
The opportunity has been taken to start
from scratch so initially this site will be a bit empty but the
old stuff will move across and get tidied up in the process. As
a start to the new site we have a page on the boiler problems
that have laid Merddin low for most of the summer and a new
roster feature |

Notes on the
adjacent roster.
Think of it as a
forecast made the previous Wednesday. The loco
allocation is a fluid thing governed by loco
condition, loads and crewing issues so reality is often different to
what is forecast
This info doesn't
automatically update and relies on the webmaster
being at home to be able to do the updates.
Please take it as
a bit of additional info and not gospel. We'll try
to keep it up to date but make no promises |
