Does anyone know where the single fares for the above can be found? I last went in 2022 and recall that the website had a look-up table for single fares between the various stops, and I booked a Blaenau Ffestiniog to Porthmadog single over the phone in advance (£25 if I recall correctly). The website FAQ now suggests you can buy single fares on the day but, and apologies if I've just overlooked it, I can't see anywhere what those fares are.

I've had a good look and can't find any single fares either!
Perhaps best to email them using the Contact Me option and ask

Single journeys for the whole line are 50% of the online return fares, and to/from intermediate stations are less than that, but I don't think the exact figures are shown online anywhere. Travel is in the unreserved carriage so booking in advance isn't necessary (or even possible probably).
Thank you. Is it generally possible to get on the service if you just turn up on the day and buy a single? We're thinking of a trip that would involve travelling from Porthmadog to Caernarfon one way. I suppose there's always the bus as a fall-back if we can't get on the WHR. Less fun but significantly cheaper!
Normally yes. Last time I used the route, the unreserved coach wasn't busy,and boarding at the start gives you an advantage!
