All aboard: New train takes to heritage lines

Two heritage rail lines in north Wales have been celebrating the first outing of their new £600,000 train.

The new carriages will run along the world's oldest narrow-gauge track on the Ffestiniog Railway in Gwynedd, and also on its sister line, the Welsh Highland Railway.

Pride of place is a new £250,000 Pullman curved glass observation car.

Eventually ten new carriages will run on the lines between Blaenau Ffestiniog and Caernarfon.
