Llandudno railway station
]]Llandudno railway station serves the town of Llandudno and is the terminus of a branch line from Llandudno Junction on the Crewe to Holyhead North Wales Coast Line. There are frequent through services to Manchester Piccadilly via Colwyn Bay, Rhyl, Prestatyn, Flint, Chester and Warrington. There is a direct service (Mondays to Fridays) to London Euston operated by Virgin Trains. There are also local services and through services via the Conwy Valley Line to Betws-y-Coed and Blaenau Ffestiniog.
The first station and the branch line was built by the St. George's Harbour and Railway Company and opened on October 1st 1858. The trains at first ran to and from Conwy station until the completion of Llandudno Junction station. The line was soon absorbed by the London and North Western Railway which became the London, Midland and Scottish Railway in 1922. Vaughan Street in Llandudno was also laid out in 1858 as the station approach road. The present Llandudno station buildings and frontage were erected in 1892 and the station still has the Victorian carriage road between the two principal platforms. Platforms 4 & 5 have been disused since 1978 and the glass roof over all the platforms was removed in 1990. The station is now in an extremely bad state of repair and presents a dismal entrance to this seaside town.
