Some info from Google

• • 19th-Century English Spelling conventions: When the railway was incorporated in 1832 under King William IV, Welsh orthography (spelling) had not yet been formally standardized, and anglicized spellings of Welsh place names were frequently used in official British documentation. During the 18th and 19th centuries, spelling the name with one "F" was standard practice in English text.
  • Evolution of the Welsh Language: Throughout the 20th century, Welsh spelling was systematically revised and standardized. In modern Welsh, the double "F" (Ff) represents the voiceless labiodental fricative sound (the "F" sound in English), while a single "F" represents a "V" sound. Therefore, the town itself is spelled Ffestiniog today
