before long and in July 1876 struck a prudent deal with the Bala and Festiniog Railway (and behind them, the GWR) who would approach from the southeast, the essence of which was that the Bala & Festiniog would buy the F&BR for £14,000 within three years, take up the B&FR shares and pay the F&BR 5% per annum on the £14,000 until the sale was closed. Thereafter the F&BR's single biggest source of income was the £700 interest. The Bala and Festiniog appear to have agreed to this to get access to the F&BR's trackbed into Blaenau by agreement rather than by compulsory purchase and all the cost, delay and uncertainty that might entail; the F&BR got a very fair price given the bills for renewals which were imminent. From February 1878 onwards two sets of accounts were prepared with more than the usual level of opacity.

In October 1866 some quarry owners issued a prospectus announcing the formation of the Festiniog and Blaenau Railway Company to construct a line from Llan Ffestiniog to Blaenau where it would connect with the Ffestiniog Railway. In the short term this "poured water into a blocked drain" as the F&BR led only to the overstretched FR, but the line contained the seeds of at least two ambitions-cum-threats: it took a step towards the south where it might eventually meet the Corwen and Bala's ambitions from the south east and the same step south lent itself to ambitions to connect with the 906:
gauge trains without alteration and the line's curves' ruling minimum radius was 6 chains (120 m) as opposed to the FR's 2 chains (40 m). Even the line's steepest gradient of 1 in 68 was forced upon it by having to avoid obstacles, the original intention was to have a ruling gradient of 1 in 100. The maximum line speed of 12 miles per hour (19 km/h) was imposed by the Board of Trade. The largest feature which had to be rebuilt on conversion was the wooden viaduct between Tanymanod and Blaenau, not because it was too small, but because it was too flimsy. It was rebuilt in stone and stands to this day.

by the F&BR, as a result of the July 1876 agreement) which they received on 6 August 1880. This was followed on 23 May 1882 by the F&BR directors voluntarily winding up their company, which was "vested in" (taken over entirely by) the Bala and Festiniog on 13 April 1883. William Davies of Cae'r Blaidd, the F&BR Manager, was appointed Liquidator; he reported his work complete on 21 April 1884. William Davies was a shareholder and director of the F&BR, its manager and its liquidator.

seats, giving a lower centre of gravity, smoother ride and more headroom. Both companies' carriages had distinctive Lindley oil lamps protruding from the roofs like tin cans. Four of the carriages were Third Class only (one contained a guard's compartment and brake), the other two had three compartments – two Second Class compartments on each side of a First Class one. The company had a seventh carriage, possibly for Directors' and VIP use, but no details survive.

work in the quarries, railways and railway building in 1881 and gauge conversion work was set back by a flood in 1882. Gauge conversion work was delayed by land ownership issues in Blaenau and raised eyebrows for working on the Sabbath. The railway took people to court for trespass in 1871, 1876 and 1878, for breaking windows in 1871 and for drunken damage at Tan y Manod in 1873. A seven-year-old boy was prosecuted in 1882 for placing stones on the line.

that trains passed to the left on loops. From at least 1874, BoT records show the line was operated on the "One engine in steam" method, which contradicts the 1868 Board of Trade's insistence that there be Train staff working. It is possible that trains were admitted to the line using the Festiniog's equipment, then run as sole occupants of the route, with points being operated by hand.

The prospectus made brief mention of the line being able to use the FR to "command a very large traffic in goods", but saved its most lavish imprecations for the passenger potential, notably for workmen ("very great") and tourists ("immense"). 1103:, its replacement was on the same site, being initially named Blaenau Festiniog. It was renamed Blaenau Ffestiniog Central in 1951, closed to passengers in 1960 and closed completely in 1961. It was demolished in the 1960s and in 1982 became the site of the wholly new BR/FR interchange station which thrives today. 1204:

Despite the railway's short length and short life it appeared several times in the regional press as the victim of acts of god and man.

The railway had eight wagons of similar design to the wagons used on the Ffestiniog Railway. Almost all the general freight and mineral traffic originated on or travelled to the FR using FR wagons.

The standard gauge Bala and Festiniog line was very slow to get going, the first sod not being cut until August 1878. Therefore, they incurred significant parliamentary expenses both to gain parliamentary extensions of time to complete the line and to obtain powers to absorb the F&BR (unopposed

Some bridges were erected during the line's later narrow gauge years and on conversion, using metal parapets pre-cast at the Brymbo Foundry. Others of the type also existed on the standard gauge line approaching from Bala. In 2016 at least one such survived between Llan Ffestiniog and Trawsfynydd.
