The Welsh Highland Heritage Railway is the new operating name for the railway and registered charity that operates a tourist line towards the north eastern corner of Porthmadog. From 2009, the operation, previously known as the Welsh Highland Railway (Porthmadog) will assume this title. The company name will remain Welsh Highland Railway Limited.
