Loaded Quarry Gauge slate wagons were wheeled onto the transporter wagons and carried four per transporter wagon down to their destination at Penscoins, above Port Dinorwic, where they were wheeled off again onto a Quarry Gauge rope-hauled (until May 1924 chain-hauled) incline which led down, partly through a tunnel, to the quayside.

On the homeward (northbound) run specific carriages were dropped off at specific stations, such as Pen-Llyn, where the men in them hand shunted them into a purpose-built carriage shed before walking to their homes. The process was reversed the following working morning. The overall journey time for the little over six miles (9.7 km) was 45 minutes.

This required new or expanded towns, commuting, or both. Llanberis grew considerably through the first part of the 19th century, but not sufficiently to keep pace with the opportunities the quarries offered.

The owner was "not a man to hide his light under a bushel". In 1845, he had a coach house built at
Penscoins, and (by implication, as no mention is made in the company accounts) bought a saloon from his own pocket for use when he took guests from the port to the quarries. It was "a smaller version of

By the 1890s, the number of men, distances travelled, the example of the
Penrhyn Railway and rising expectations led the men to ask the quarry management to provide trains to convey them to and from work. The company was reluctant to entertain the idea, seeming to fear burdensome liabilities in case

A timetable was devised with an elaborate allocation of numbers of men set to travel from each stop. Notices and a rule book were issued with severe penalties for, among other things, allowing non-employees to travel or using offensive language. A rate was set for a weekly "season ticket" for daily

The "Saloon Shed" was rebuilt in 1888. Around the same time as the order for the workmen's carriages, the company also ordered a replacement private saloon for the owner and his guests. This had the same running gear and dimensions as the workmen's, but was relatively opulent inside, with, for

The workmen's service commenced operating on Monday 25 November 1895 and last ran on 8 November 1947, by which time it was down to three carriages â K, Q and U. The charges for using Coach "U" were higher than the other coaches, but the reasons why have been forgotten.
