This time we are in the north wales, in snowdonia, about to climb wales highest peak, Mount Snowdon. Now i am up for a bit of climbing, i am a fairly fit guy, dressed for the part, but i have got an easier option in mind. We are about to take a ride on the historic snowdon Mountain Railway. If you know anything about this part of the world, you will know that this railway is actually closed in the winter. But i have got a special ride lined up on an engineers train, because im going to find out how this Railway Copes with the harsh mountain weather. All aboard when youre ready, dewi this railway has been taking people to the summit of Mount Snowdon since 1896. An estimated 12 Million People have made thatjourney since then. The trains normally run from mid march until november, but it is the weather that dictates the schedule, and the toll the weather takes on the Mountain Railway means for the maintenance teams, winter is the busiest time of year. Mike, you are the Senior Engineering
