Single Tickets

Journey Duration

Summit – Traditional Diesel Service can last up to two and a half hours which includes a stop of approximately 30 minutes at the summit.

Heritage Steam Experience service can last up to three hours which will include a stop of approximately one hour at the summit.

All services to Clogwyn can take up to two hours which includes a stop of approximately 30 minutes where the open mountainside offers stunning views. Please note: - There are no facilities of any kind at Clogwyn. To avoid the possibility of being stranded, passengers with return tickets must return on the same train as there may not be later availability or, any later trains arriving at or leaving the summit and Clogwyn.

Dogs and Luggage

Only officially registered support dogs can be allowed on the trains and bulky luggage cannot be carried.

Car Parking

Like most commercial organisations we do charge for parking on our car park. Please ensure that you purchase a valid ticket for your stay. This can be done on site from our car park ticket machines. SMR operates only one car park situated to the rear of the site entrance on Victoria Terrace. Whilst revenues derived are paid to the railway, any charges for overstays or parking charges levied when customers do not purchase a valid ticket for their stay will be collected by our partners ‘Parking Eye Ltd’

Disabled

Wheelchair users and passengers with mobility issues are asked to telephone us to discuss any particular requirements. Further information and the site access statement are available here.

The Weather

The weather on Snowdon is notoriously unpredictable and can change rapidly. Fine weather in Llanberis does not guarantee fine weather or clear views from any part of the mountain. If weather conditions become severe and trains cannot proceed to the summit they will terminate at Rocky Valley (5/8 up Snowdon) and a reduced fare is offered.

How to Find Us

Satellite navigation systems often misdirect our customers. Please enter LL55 4TT for directions to our car park.
