Truly Wonderful Boston Lodge 'Behind the Scenes' Tour
Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railways的点评
点评：I was lucky enough to secure two places on the Boston Lodge guided tour made available as part of National Lottery Open Week. It was absolutely outstanding!
The tour started with a short steam train ride across the cob from Porthmadog station to the Boston Lodge works. That was exciting in itself - being pulled by an engine which was built in 1893 and with stunning scenery either side of the track .... the glorious weather did help but the little journey there and back was superb.
Our volunteer guide, Stuart, was incredibly knowledgeable and he and his colleagues provided the small group with lots of interesting facts including information about the origins of the railway (and the cob), how it had developed & progressed and, of course, about the engines, carriages and machinery maintained and cared for at Boston Lodge.
The Boston Lodge works are fascinating too and contain so much railway history ... not just the locomotives available to see (& even touch), but the buildings themselves have a story to tell. They are also being superbly renovated using Lottery funding!
What was also interesting was that the vast majority of the 'workers' we saw during the tour were volunteers. There were many people engaged in various activities in the different parts of the works, all of whom are dedicated volunteers and many of whom travel great distances to be part of this incredible piece of history.
I booked the tickets as a surprise for my husband's birthday (actually the day we took the tour) and he was very, very impressed. I was too. It was honestly one of the best tours we have ever done and I would urge everyone to book even if you don't think you are a heritage railway enthusiast, you will not regret it.

翻译：我很幸运地获得了两个波士顿旅馆导游的名额，这是全国彩票开放周的一部分。这真是太棒了！
这次旅行从乘坐短途蒸汽火车开始，从波特马多格站穿过小山丘到达波士顿旅馆工厂。这本身就很令人兴奋——由一台 1893 年制造的火车牵引，轨道两边的风景令人惊叹……天气晴朗，但往返的小旅程非常棒。
我们的志愿者导游斯图尔特知识渊博，他和他的同事为这个小团体提供了许多有趣的事实，包括有关铁路（和小山丘）的起源、它的发展和进步，当然还有波士顿旅馆维护和保养的火车头、车厢和机械的信息。
波士顿旅馆工厂也很迷人，蕴含着如此多的铁路历史……不仅仅是可以看到（甚至触摸）的机车，而且建筑物本身也有故事可讲。它们还使用彩票资金进行了出色的翻新！
同样有趣的是，我们在游览期间看到的绝大多数“工人”都是志愿者。许多人在工程的不同部分从事各种活动，他们都是敬业的志愿者，其中许多人长途跋涉成为这段令人难以置信的历史的一部分。
我订了票作为我丈夫生日的惊喜（实际上是我们参加游览的那天），他非常非常感动。我也是。老实说，这是我们参加过的最好的旅行之一，我敦促每个人都预订，即使你不认为自己是铁路遗产爱好者，你也不会后悔。
