1922[edit]

On 31st July 1922, when passenger services resumed on the section between Dinas Junction and South Snowdon, there were 3 return trips, plus an additional return trip where the outward journey was not advertised (it probably carried workmen working to open the full line) :

After December 1922 the Saturday variation was removed :

1923[edit]

Trains ran throughout the winter of 1922-23, and in February 1923 some extra trains were run, providing a surprisingly intensive winter service :

The departure from Beddgelert at 3.25 followed a lay-over of 18 mins.

By August 1924 there was a minor extension in the service between Beddgelert and Portmadoc. This timetable saw the service at its most intensive, with 5 daily through trains in each direction, plus 2 additional trains between Portmadoc and Beddgelert. This level of intensity was never to be repeated :

|| ||a.m.||.||p.m.||.||.||.||Thur & Sat only|| ||Dinas Junction||8.10||9.50||12.00||---||3.05||5.40||---|| ||Beddgelert||9.30||12.15||1.17||3.15||4.58||7.29||8.30|| ||Portmadoc||10.12||12.58||2.05||3.57||5.39||8.11||9.12||

By September 1924 the railway was running a very cut-back service of just 2 daily through trains in each direction :

|| ||a.m.||p.m.|| ||Dinas Junction||9.42||4.22|| ||Portmadoc||11.55||6.35||

|| ||a.m.||p.m.|| ||Portmadoc||9.10||3.45|| ||Dinas Junction||11.40||6.12||

1925[edit]

On 30th January 1925 a minimal service of 2 trains ran between Portmadoc and Beddgelert - and then on Fridays only - for Portmadoc market :

The summer service, from 13th July to 19th September 1925, saw a fuller service (though reduced from previous years), with a minimum 3 through trains in each direction :

|| ||a.m.||p.m.||not Sat.||p.m.||Fri|| ||Dinas Junction||9.50||12.00||---||4.30||---|| ||South Snowdon||10.45||12.55||---||5.24||---|| ||Beddgelert||11.20||1.35||2.20||6.05||8.05|| ||Portmadoc||12.09||2.20||3.05||6.50||8.50||

The departure from Beddgelert at 3.00 followed a lay-over of 35 mins. This was the introduction of the longer lay-over (to reappear 2 years later).

1927[edit]

In March of 1927 the Company went into receivership.

The spring service, from 1st March, 1927 saw an additional service between Portmadoc and Beddgelert. The timetable also noted that on a Friday, the Portmadog departure ran 30 minutes later :

|| ||a.m.||p.m.|| ||Dinas Junction||---||12.45|| ||Beddgelert||11.55||2.15|| ||Portmadoc||12.42||3.00||

|| ||a.m.||p.m.|| ||Portmadoc||11.00||3.30|| ||Beddgelert||11.45||4.17|| ||Dinas Junction||---||5.41||

The summer service, from 1st June, 1927, had two daily through trips in each diriection, plus the Portmadoc to Beddgelert service. Timings were very similar to the previous year's :

From 11th July, 1927, there were more trains, and South Snowdon became an additional starting/terminating point. There were, however, only 2 through trains daily in each direction :

|| ||p.m.||.||.||.|| ||Dinas Junction||---||12.00||---||4.20|| ||South Snowdon||12.04||12.58||---||5.21|| ||Beddgelert||12.30||1.27||3.03||5.48|| ||Portmadoc||1.10||2.08||3.43||6.30||

From 26th September, 1927, a cut down winter service saw no through trains at all. At the northern end, one train ran daily from Dinas to Beddgelert :

|| ||p.m.|| ||Dinas Junction||12.45|| ||Beddgelert||2.05||

|| ||p.m.|| ||Beddgelert||3.08|| ||Dinas Junction||4.23||

From December, 1927, this train service only ran on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.

|| ||p.m.|| ||Portmadoc||11.45|| ||Croesor Junction||12.05||

|| ||p.m.|| ||Croesor Junction||4.10|| ||Portmadoc||4.29||

1928[edit]

In June 1928 only one daily through train was operating :

|| ||p.m.|| ||Dinas Junction||12.45|| ||Beddgelert||3.00|| ||Portmadoc||3.43||

(The departure from Beddgelert at 3.00 followed a lay-over of 34 mins.)

||Portmadoc||1.42|| ||Beddgelert||3.00|| ||Dinas Junction||4.25||

The departure from Beddgelert at 3.00 followed a lay-over of 55 mins.

On the 11th June, 1928, a further service was added between Portmadoc and Beddgelert :

July 23rd, 1928, onwards saw a slightly improved service between Portmadoc and South Snowdon, in addition to the 2 daily through trains in each direction (only 1 on Saturdays). In places the timetable proved to be slightly different by several minutes from the one earlier published as scheduled to be operating from this date :

|| ||p.m.||not Sat.||Sat.||p.m.|| ||Dinas Junction||---||12.00||12.00||---|| ||South Snowdon||12.02||12.56||12.56||4.07|| ||Beddgelert||12.28||2.01||1.52||4.34|| ||Portmadoc||1.10||2.47||2.38||5.19||

The 2.50 p.m. train from Portmadoc ran 10 minutes later on Saturdays.

The 12.00 departure from Dinas carried a fully licensed buffet car as far as Beddgelert, this returning on the 3.05.

There was a slight change to the service in August 1928 whereby the 12.00 from Dinas spent a few minutes longer at Beddgelert, arriving at Portmadoc at 2.51, and a couple of other departures from Portmadoc were later by a few minutes.

From September 2nd, 1928, only the two afternoon daily through trains were retained :

|| ||p.m.||.|| ||Dinas Junction||12.00||12.00|| ||South Snowdon||12.56||12.56|| ||Beddgelert||2.01||1.52|| ||Portmadoc||2.47||2.38||

From 24th September, 1928 the service was reduced to just one daily through train in each direction :

|| ||p.m.|| ||Dinas Junction||12.30|| ||Portmadoc||2.36||

|| ||p.m.|| ||Portmadoc||3.00|| ||Dinas Junction||5.11||

In October 1928 this was reduced further to one train from Dinas to Beddgelert, on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays only :

|| ||p.m.|| ||Dinas Junction||12.30|| ||Beddgelert||1.50||

1929[edit]

From 20th May, 1929, a through train ran the whole route again, but still only on three days a week, namely Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays :

|| ||p.m.|| ||Dinas Junction||12.30|| ||Portmadoc||2.37 - 2.40||

|| ||p.m.|| ||Portmadoc||c3.55|| ||Dinas Junction||6.04||

|| ||p.m.|| ||Portmadoc||c4.00|| ||Dinas Junction||6.10||

In October, 1929, the three day service resumed (i.e. Monday, Wednesday & Friday).

1930[edit]

With the railway in serious decline, the summer timetable from 7th July to 20th September 1930 showed only one daily train in each direction. This was, however, only a three day service (Monday, Wednesday, Friday) and only between Dinas and Beddgelert - though running on to Portmadoc "if required" :

|| ||p.m.|| ||Dinas Junction||12.22|| ||South Snowdon||1.18|| ||Beddgelert||1.49|| ||Portmadoc||2.22||

|| ||p.m.|| ||Beddgelert||4.45|| ||South Snowdon||5.20|| ||Dinas Junction||6.10||

1933[edit]

The service ran from 17th July to 18th September, 1933. The timetable was similar to that of 1932, with one through train daily in each direction, but a later departure from Portmadoc saw the lay-over at Beddgelert reduced from 76 mins to 51 mins.

|| ||p.m.|| ||Dinas Junction||12.28|| ||South Snowdon||1.25|| ||Beddgelert||1.56|| ||Portmadoc||2.37||
