Friday 26 January: we’re off to the Welsh coast, to see the rebuilt Barmouth Bridge – a remarkable bit of engineering and planning. We’re going by rail, a journey which suffers half-an-hour delay on the way back – leading to unanticipated bonuses at Machynlleth. Silver linings? This little cloud proved to have a golden lining!

There are more photos of the rail-related aspects of this outing and a couple of interesting video links on Geoff’s Rail Pages – visit The new Barmouth Bridge for the full story
