Fay Simcock is raising money for Ffestiniog Railway Society
In memory of Peter Simcock
Donations cannot currently be made to this page
The Ffestiniog Railway Society exists to support the oldest independent railway in the world (being founded by an Act of Parliament in 1832) – now a historic and world-class tourist attraction. The Society currently supports volunteering and projects in many ways on the railway, funding the purpose-built volunteers’ hostel, the re-entry into traffic of flagship ‘Double Fairlie’ locomotive Merddin Emrys, several new and rebuilt carriages, materials and enhanced mechanical facilities for the outdoor engineering departments and much more. Currently we are focussing on raising funds to facilitate the entry into traffic of two new carriages and two new bogies for locomotive David Lloyd George, one of the Ffestiniog’s iconic double fairlies. Please visit our website (www.ffestiniograilway.org.uk) for more examples of what our funding goes to support.

Story

<p>Peter loved the Ffestiniog Railway. He volunteered when he was at school and university and always followed the railway's progress even though his life took him away from the Wirral and North Wales. I don't think he would have married me if I hadn't loved steam trains as well!</p> <p>Some of my happiest recent memories are from the last trip we made together to the railway in 2009, when we got to travel several times on both the Ffestiniog and the West Highland line through the heart of Snowdonia to Caernarfon.</p> <p>Peter also loved life so, even though his has been cut cruelly short, I'd like any donations in his memory to support the railway he loved so much. And if you are in North Wales, the railway is great fun so please do pay it a visit!</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
