Penrhyn: The latest Double Fairlie 'James Spooner', which entered service in 2023, at 100mph Straight with a Blaenau Ffestiniog - Porthmadog train during the Bygones Weekend. The term 'Ffestiniog Railway 100mph Straight' is a humorous or metaphorical term, as no part of the railway has a straight section that allows for speeds of 100 mph. Instead, it is a playful reference to a specific section of the railway line near Rhiw Goch.
