Monitoring the condition of heritage rolling Stock was conlinued during Ihe year. Trustees and the Company have consulted on whether this remains the most appropriate way to Safeguard the railways, heritage. As a result. FfWHRHL will be wound up in 2025 and alternative arrangements put in place. Theskillsand qualityofdesign and craftsmanshipoftheworkshop staff at Boston Lodge are known far and wide and are a long-tenn benefit to Ihe organisation. Extemal work ovethauling locomotives and building carriages for other na1rowaUge railways provided welcome income to help defray the Company5 Costs in 2024. At the Company AGM 2024, Trustees las majority shareholder) support8d a resolution that Jo Charles. Colin Lea and Henry Noon be apInted Direclors of the Company. During the year work continued on the -Interpretaton and Boston Lodge Projecf supported by the National Lottery Heritag8 Fund {NLHF}. This is a substantial {£5.2millionl project which has be8n delivered on budget and with only minimal delay. The Trust (along with Th8 Festiniog Railway Society) have provided substantial grants lo match the NLHF conlribution. Restoration of heritage buildings was completed during 2024. Intefprelation aspecls of the project. which indude guided tours of Boston Lodge and workshops leaching heritage skills. were initiated during 2024 and will ntinue through 2025. he Regenerative Railway., published towards the end of 2022. sets out the vision, strategy and foadmap for the railways over the next decade or so. The title of this document reflects our intent to develop the raiaY sustsinably without losing that whith is excellent and which we have inhented frorn previous generations. As a consequence we aim to pass on to future generations a railway which is thriving, rewarding to supporters. neighbours and customers and well positioned for its Ihird century of operation. During 2024, the Company continued and 8xtended efficiency m8asure8 introduced originally to combat the effects of the pandemic. Traffic receipts were essentially flat versus 2023 but there wère increases in the costs of employm8nt and the c£sst of coal remained very high. Nevertheless the Company was 8ssenlially at breakeven in 2024 having made a surplus of £34,444 in 2023. Any surplus is always reinvested into basic expenditure on maintenance or routine projects on the infrastwcture for the railways. Ffesliniog Travel, operated by Ffestiniog RaiNvay Holdings Ltd, continued to enjoy very considerably improved trading conditions in 2024 having recovered the ground lost during th8
pandemic. A profit of £365,334 {2023.' £382.088) was used to maintain reserves (essential for a Iravel business) and to resume payment of charitsble donation5 to Ihe Trust. A donation of £310,000 was paid to the Trusl by Ffestiniog Holdings Ltd in 2024. Public Beneflt In planning their activities, the Trustees gave due regard lo the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission. Tho Ffestiniog Raimfay is ofenormous significance lo both the world-wide devel¢)pment of narrow- gauge railways and the industri21 history of North Wales. Much of the original infrastructure and architedure, including the original works al Boston Lodge, has been retained. Motive power and other rolling stock of oulslanding historical and technical interest CA)ntinue to be operated and, together with historic artefacls on display in Porthmadog. are visible lo all. The réstoration of the Welsh Highland Railway has reconstituted amther major part of the narrow4auge nehvork historically proposed for the region. The company has business and technical 8h1VeS dating from its 1832 inception as a statutory company. These are deposited with Gwynedd Archives in Caernarfon and freely available as a resource for researchers. Preservation of this heritage provides an educational and recreational resource which benefits the community as a whole. The railways run through land provide access to) the Gl8slyn Landscape of Historical Significance and the Snowdonia Nalional Park. Recognilior) of the contribution to public benefit has come from the inscription of the Ffestiniog RaiaY as a UNESCO Worfd Heritage site (part of The Slatè Landscape of North West W81es). The Company supports the local community by sponsoring and participabng in local events and by providing reseurces and work experien for local schools. It is not easy lo find high quality jobs in Gwynedd- particulady outsid& Ihe public sector. The railways are not just one of the largest employers in Ihe area. bul have become a noted centr8 of excellen¢e in areas such as carriage building and mechanical engineering, and so offer local people an OPF¥)rtunity to develop skills which would not otherwise exist in such a remote area. A majority of our pemianent staff are recruited locally and over half speak Welsh as a first language. The Trustees will continue to sponsor established members of our permanent staff who do nol currently speak Welsh but would like to do so. The NLHF project at Boston Lodge has included provision of d8dicated resources to further and enhance volunteer activity in interpretation of the railway's impact on the community (currently and historically) and has created apprenticeship positions covering works administration, project management and interpretation. Our local community, whith is classified as an economically disadvanlaged area, benefits direcuy from the railways, activities but also indirecuy from benefits accruing to local employers and other businesses. The overall benefit to the region has been the subject of academic sludies and is now estimated to be over £20m pèr annum and to support around 400 jobs. This level of economic contribution is recognised as common ground in discussion with Government and local interests. Structure.
