Let's Explore ... Barmouth Bridge

For anyone watching not from the UK this bridge is used SO MUCH in the news/weather shows. Literally any time the sea is even slightly stormy this bridge will appear with waves splashing against it.

Lucky enough to live on the Cambrian Coast Line and during winter months we get free travel with our bus passes on the line from Pwhelli to Mac. Still get excited crossing the Barmouth bridge it's amazing!

I like the signage outside the station in the town of Barmouth St Tion. Presumably Saint Tion was one of the lesser-known Welsh saints!

As a teenager living just outside of london i've made it my mission to travel as much as i can and cross off every line and landmark on the tube and national rail, On our journey bucket list lies "Meeting Geoff During A Journey", Maybe one day i'll find myself in the tracks of a person that inspired me to begin these journeys

Railways and the seaside, two of my favourite things in the whole world.

Thanks for the shout out for the Fairbourne Railway. Volunteers & staff very much appreciate it 😀

I constantly fail to remember just how stunning the west coast of Wales is.

I find it very frustrating, that even though I am in the same county of Gwynedd as Barmouth, to get to Barmouth on a national rail train I'd have to go to Chester, then Shrewsbury, before going to Aberystwyth.

Wales IS beautiful, damn. In every video, also by JenOnTheMove and GLovesTrains, Wales proves itself amazing. Also: In this video is a great example of how level boarding could speed up the dwell time... (8:44)

The Cumbrian Coast Line and Barmouth Bridge is fabulous especially when you want to get away from the busy city life and to explore the peace and tranquility that West Wales has to offer. Very nice.

I have literally just arrived near Barmouth, my Truman show instinct is off the chart

I live in Aberystwyth and it takes roughly the same amount of time to travel by train to Shrewsbury as it does to get to Barmouth

Hi Geoff, I'm not sure if you remember me but we met when you came to the Fairbourne railway in 2021, i Was driving your train from Barmouth ferry back to Fairbourne where we had a pleasant and if I remember correctly I gave you a small tour around the station. You said that you were going to make a video about Morfa when we were talking in Fairbourne and ever since then i have been keeping an eye out for it . I really enjoyed the video it was intriguing to see your old photos compared to how Morfa looks today, and thank you for the shout out for the Fairbourne. I wish you the best and hopefully see you back at the Fairbourne one day :)

Barmouth is a beautiful spot to get photos, thats why i love it so much!

The Mawddach Trail can also be cycled and is one of the best cycle rides in the UK, in my opinion. There's cycle hire places at both ends and it is very popular.

Very fond memories of school trips to Fairbourne and rock climbing in the hills above Barmouth. Great to have the memories brought back by the video, thanks Geoff!

I adore Aberdyfi, and this little pocket of the world; grew up spending all my summers on that beach a family friend used to run the donkey rides on it from 2006-2020 and even managed to win Britain's best beach donkey in 2008.

I travelled this line recently as part of a ‘no car’ break in Wales and, having grown up overlooking the station at Kirkby in Furness I was astounded at how beautiful this line is. I felt… duplicitous, but I’m looking forward to exploring it more! For the record I got the bus from Dolgellau to Barmouth, the train to Porthmadog and the Welsh highland railway to Caernarfon and then reversed it all for a full day out. It was stunning.

Geoff! Just wanted to say thank you for all the amazing videos that you create. You have such a lovely style, which is equal parts interesting, introspective and fun. Always a joy to see a new video. Long may it continue!

As a 15 year old in 1958 I took the train from London to Criccieth. It was steam double headed from Shrewsbury and obviously Barmouth Bridge left a lasting memory but not just for the view. After stopping at a station just to the north of the bridge there must be a steep incline because both engines ran out of puff. We had to reverse back over the bridge and take a non-stop run through the station to get up the hill.
