Booking office at the Welsh Highland Railway's northern Terminus at Caernarfon Station, with passengers making their way to the platform to catch the 11:00 train for Porthmadog. The station lies on the trackbed of a former standard gauge railway built as the Carnarvonshire Railway and opened in 1862. It continued northwards from this point, entering the tunnel whose mouth can just be seen in the middle distance. This line was closed in 1964. The current WHR station was opened in 1997.
