A Trial Run

On Wednesday 6th I went to Bangor (N.Wales) to try out my intended train journeys on 18th May. All went well - trains on time, connections made and ample cycle capacity on all 3 legs. The final leg, Bangor to Holyhead , should not present any problems. The only small irritation was that there was a Race Day at Chester so the train from Crewe to Chester was full and standing. I did manage to get a seat and, after Chester, all was serene. I took the opportunity to check out the route from LanfairP.G. to Caernarfon and was pleased to note that the railway path from Felinheli into Caernarfon has been considerably improved since I last rode it. I have located the (very modern) Travelodge - it is more or less on the harbour side and almost on route 8. I am looking forward to the trip which is now not far away.
