Earlier this month I was in North Wales for a week or so with the campervan, and among other things took the opportunity of a trip to the top of Snowdon. On the train - but it was a really hot day and I wasn't sure whether I could cope too well with walking down, or even up. The little narrow gauge train from Llanberis was £23 return as we didn't organise ourselves in time to get the half price tickets on the first train of the day, but money well spent if you didn't fancy a three hour walk up and about the same going down.
Naturally I took quite a few photographs but the mountain was so crowded it was hard to get anything really interesting. Time at the summit was limited because if you didn't take the return train (after a 30 minute stay) you had to take your chances of finding a seat on a later one.
The new visitor centre at the train terminus just below the summit is really well designed to blend in with the landscape and is a worthy addition. There's a blog covering its construction here, and this features some pretty goood pictures as well. See http://blog.snowdonia-active.com
