Transport for Wales introduced the first three trains between Machynlleth and Pwllheli from 19 October, bringing air-conditioning, improved Wi-Fi, charging points, bilingual information screens and more accessible accommodation. Sections of platforms at six stations have also been raised to make boarding easier.
The introduction is part of a wider £800 million programme of new trains across Wales and the borders, with more of the Class 197e fleet due to join Cambrian services over the coming months.
