Welsh Highland Railway (Caernarfon)
The name "Welsh Highland Railway (Caernarfon)", or WHR(C), was the name given to the operation by the Festiniog Railway Company of the railway services during the ongoing reconstruction of the line of the old Welsh Highland Railway.
This was to distinguish it from the operations of the Welsh Highland Railway Limited, owners, and operators of a section of line in Porthmadog,which was known as Welsh Highland Railway (Porthmadog).
From 2009, the WHR(C) operation became the Welsh Highland Railway, whilst the WHR(P) operation was renamed Welsh Highland Heritage Railway

“Her personality had an architectonic quality; I think of her when I see some of the great London railway termini, especially St. Pancras, with its soot and turrets, and she overshadowed her own daughters, whom she did not understand—my mother, who liked things to be nice; my dotty aunt. But my mother had not the strength to put even some physical distance between them, let alone keep the old monster at emotional arm’s length.”
