We have  finished our work on Augusta st the traffic lights have gone I would like to thank everyone for the lack of complaints while this stage of the works were completed it was tough for everyone but the work had to be done,we're not far off now with the works on the station a few more weeks and we will be finished and it will look really nice and the town of llandudno will have a nice station with good facilities.

Just out of interest, what (if any) are the plans for what was the road between platforms 2 & 3?

Will someone be removing the awful bushes at the very end of that road as they are an eyesore?

Are the platform flagstones staying as they are or being replaced? I went A*** over tit whilst walking down platform 3 in the wind & rain at 6 o'clock this morning after tripping on one of the uneven flagstones.

How will access to the car park be controlled? (Barriers, gates, etc...)

They're fascinating.  I'll put a direct link to that last list of snippets in our 'Useful links' page.

Steve sorry to hear u had an accident on your way to work, there is a few issues with uneven flags on platforms 2&3 a member of the public tripped over last week on platform 3 we have not carried out much work on platforms 2&3 and if we have all areas have been checked before opening the areas to the public as for the cab rd i don't know what they have planned for that area of the station. There will be a height barrier to stop lorries and large vans using the car park the car park will be controlled by network rail I believe,great footage of the station in its prime.

As a trivial aside, the "greeter" at the station in the Pathe newsreel is Euan Lloyd who went on to be the producer of British action films such as "The Wild Geese" and "Who dares wins", his daughter, Rosalind, plays Lewis Collins' wife in the latter.

Wrex I think were all happy with the new colour scheme ,great photos once again dave ,the porta cabins including the taxi office and public toilets are being removed on Friday there will be no public toilets at the station for a couple of weeks, the new taxi office will be located at the corner of the old station building.
