Llandudno...... I*
Llandudno: Llandundo Town Council Annual Christmas Parade will take place on December 3 starting at 4pm from Llandudno train station. The parade leaves the railway station at 4pm and proceeds along Vaughan Street, into Mostyn Street and then into Lloyd Street with the trams stopping outside the Town Hall. There will be entertainment outside the Town Hall from 2.40pm, with the lights being switched on at the Town Hall by Deputy Mayor Cllr Francis Davis just before the parade turns into Lloyd Street.

Christmas lights in Llandudno, how many bulbs this year ? Time to swop them to LED's and then they could move in to double figures!

As they say where you're from, it was 'boss' mate!
Boxing Day eh?  I'll be here, I may even be open, if I've anything left to sell.

A picture showing some of the maintenance going on at the Great Orme tramway.
The tram itself is raised up off the track via that frame, and the bogie wheel assembly has been removed.

I'm surprised they do much work there. I would have thought they'd have done all the maintenance inside at the halfway building swapping trams as required.

But that would mean they could only do one tram at a time.

I know I'm a bit drunk at this hour, and that's probably YOUR fault, but, isn't there only one track at the bottom and the top station?

I just thought that at the halfway station they could work on two of the trams indoors and work on a third tram indoors at the Summit complex as well if they wanted. The two lower trams could then be swapped over to work on the fourth tram rather than work in the open (albeit with a roof) at Victoria Station.

Ah but they can't get to the summit and half way stations as the trams aren't running!

I know what you mean but this way all the bogies can be refurbished at the same time, as opposed to doing them seperately, which would be more time consuming and possibly cost more with extra transportation costs.

End of an era for Llandudno post office.
For more than a hundred years the grand post office on Vaughan Street served the people of Llandudno.

Its closure just weeks ago marked the end of an era for the seaside town - now customers will have to use the service in WHSmith on Mostyn Street.
The old post office was opened in 1902 next to MOSTYN art gallery.

Following its demise the gallery has put on an exhibition about the postal service, with workers sharing their stories alongside work by contemporary artists.
