The Heritage Group is committed to continuing research into the history of the Welsh Highland Railway and its predecessors, with the results of any research appearing in the Group's quarterly journal.

The "standard historical works" published about the railway contain much diligent research and give an excellent insight into its history and that of its predecessors. Nevertheless, further details do continue to come to light and it is clear that, even now, much detail remains to be extracted from various archival collections, both to amplify the story and to untangle some of the mysteries that still remain. Knowing where to start, and where to look,  when researching railway history, can sometimes be a little daunting: to assist and encourage new researchers, listings have been compiled of material relating specifically to the railway and its predecessors which is known to exist in some of the publicly accessible archives - follow this link

Due to the continuing link with the Festiniog Railway,  a lot of material is recorded with the FR  Heritage Group, and available online, via its wiki.  There is a list of references contained <here>
