DMU as listed | Minffordd - (?reverse of outward route?) - Cardiff General |
Notes :
(1) Tour was originally advertised to 'Portmadoc for return trip to Dduallt'
however the ticket suggests
Minffordd was the change station so confirmation is required if the DMU
went on to Portmadoc or not. Pre tour advertising also stated
that 'a connection or coach from Bristol' would be available, if demand were
sufficient.
