Towards Dduallt Station

Dduallt Station and the Dduallt Deviation. Seen from the 'Mountain Prince' excursion which takes passengers from Porthmadog to a trip round The Spiral on the deviation then returning via Tan-y-Bwlch for refreshments at the cafe.

A double-fairlie on the loop at Dduallt

In the days when Dduallt was the upper terminus of the Ffestiniog Railway and the 'Deviationists' were working hard to extend the line to Blaenau. Here, the locomotive is running round prior to taking its train back to Porthmadog.

John Lucas

Ffestiniog Railway, Ddault, 1969

The upper terminus at the time. Work was in progress on the spiral deviation to lift the line above the level of Tanygrisiau Reservoir, which had flooded the original route. This old route is blocked by the white gate.

This was just a couple of years after the extension to Dduallt was opened to passenger service, with the embankment of the new deviation beginning to take shape.

Alan Murray-Rust

'Earl of Merioneth' running round at Dduallt â 1970

This was the terminus of the line from 1968 to 1977 when the new extension came into use. The track layout has since been changed so that there is no longer a passing loop, the right hand track being merely a siding.

In the background is the incomplete bridge that would carry the spiral of the deviation enabling the line to eventually reach Blaenau Ffestiniog again.
