Why don't you take all the Councillors to Scarborough with you  -  and leave them there!   Maybe a bit a bracing ozone from the direction of Scandinavia will sharpen their brains.     D)

Hey Wrex, there is a lot wrong with Scarborough.
Mrs Fester and I used to go there nearly every weekend, until fate brought us back to Llandudno after a long absence.
We never looked back.
I will never regret that, Llandudno is a million times more friendly and welcoming than Scarborough.
They have invested a lot in the North Bay leisure areas in the last few years, but apart from the lovely seafood stalls in South Bay, the pubs are a bit tatty, a LOT rough .... and the views are nowhere near as good as Llandudno.
The train station is well maintained, but there is nothing special about the town centre.
Weatherspoons, Wilkinson's, Home Bargains, Yates Wines etc.... like most other towns.

Conwy Castle kicks the ass of Scarborough's ruined relic any day of the week.

There should be at least one fresh seafood and shellfish outlet in Llandudno... (supplied by Mermaid?) ... the produce round here is second to none!

If you spend a week in Scarborough, you will be glad to get home to Llandudno!  (Bring me a crab back mate)

If you make your way to Peasholm Park, you will find it beautifully maintained,with a very enticing boating lake and various attractions.

But, that is a fair old walk from the train station.

It's 'cos it's a station for trains as opposed to buses or trams or casualties or first-aid etc.    It's exactly what it says on the tin!      L0L    _))*

Shouldn't it be called a Train Stop then?  :twoface:

It used to be Railway Station on the tin and I am not aware people had trouble understanding that.

Why do we have to copy the Americans all the timet was alright as it was.

Train is usually a noun accompanied by an adjective eg camel train, land train, railway train, etc; so it seems to me it should be railway station.  It's one of those irritations like the dropping of the apostrophe.
Getting back on topic, I hear the "wrex express" will not be departing Llandudno on Saturday but full marks to Arriva they will honour the tickets to connect at the Junction.  It seems a new guy at Network Rail has vetoed 10 coach trains from using Llandudno.
