PLANS for a new heritage railway station, which hit the buffers after being rejected by national park planners, can now go ahead after an appeal.

- DALE SPRIDGEON

The Ffestiniog Railway Company appealed to Planning and Environment Decisions Wales [PEDW] over a decision by the Eryri National Park Authority to reject plans for the new station at picturesque Beddgelert.

This appeal has been won, and a separate appeal for costs against the park was also awarded to the railway, with the amount awarded yet to be decided.

The decision is due to be discussed at the park’s next planning meeting.

Beddgelert Station forms part of the Welsh Highland Railway, which brings thousands of people to the village, known for its scenic beauty, riverside cafés and pubs and Gelert’s Grave.

The plans concerned “construction of a new railway station on an existing concrete slab,” submitted on May 13, 2024, and rejected on July 15, 2024, according to Welsh Government inspector Richard Duggan.
