(2) Brian Basterfield comments: The Pwllheli Land Cruise in 1954 operated
Tuesdays and Thursdays 29th June to 26th August. There were 4 Land Cruises
operating around the North Wales circuit in the summer of 1954, The other 3 Land
Cruises started from the North Wales resorts and were usually 6 coach trains (including
one which used "Coronation" stock). They were operated by "Mickey
Mouse" Ivatt 464xx 2-6-0's. Not sure how long Collett 0-6-0's continued to
visit the North Wales Coast. They may also have gone over to Ivatt 2-6-0
operation later.
Details of the other land cruises is required - over to you dear visitor!
