Llandudno railway station

[SDQ]

What is not clear is why these changes seem to be brought in with almost indecent haste given that changes were already planned for December in the normal course of events.

Seeing as we've known about them for a few weeks and they're still a month away I guess your interpretation of indecent haste is very different to mine. There are generally timetable changes in mid September (this is when the Sunday service to the Llandudno & Blaenau Ffestiniog branch lines is withdrawn) but they are usually very minor. ATW this year have obviously had a bit of a fiddle to try to please the politicians by sending a Cardiff train in at the expense of a Manchester one. Changes like this happen occasionally but they tend to be cyclic and we invariably end up where we started a year or so down the line. It's happened with previous Cardiff & London services over the last few years.

I did say almost indecent haste. My real point is there has been very limited opportunity for rail users to make any comment because the consultation seems less than adequate compared with, say, bus timetable changes.

Any news on our eyesore off a station.

Is the station project starting in October or just announcing who is doing it.

[Fester]

The last update I heard was 'Contracts to be awarded in October'

I questioned at the time whether this really constituted rapid progress.
It all depends then on what other projects the successful bidders are working on!

Having just visited Grand Central,New York it got me thinking how is our GRAND station plans going,im not expecting any marble or chandaleers just a date will do.

Every time I meet someone at the Station, I always open the conversation by apologising for the state of it.

I have the same experience with customers in regard to the pier, the pavilion site, closed down shops, etc, etc....

Its very worrying that no one seems to know anything about who has been awarded the station project,we all know it has taken twelve years to get this far and the last date for a start was September althought they had;nt even choozen the builder,yet nothing seems to be said in the press and the saga goes on.

The Daily Post are on the case for you. They'll either answer here or pass on a message to me

[DaveR]

Good work, Dwsi.

Im sure Judith will have something too report on Thursday on the great station plot.

It took me five and a half hours to travel by train from Aberystwyth to Llandudno  on Monday.  I can get to Edinburgh three countries away in four and a half.  Once the new station is built and don't hold your collective breath I think Trundleiva and Virgin should be given the grand order of the boot and better transportation in Wales provided it's like the third world!

Hey, hold on, India has one of the best railway systems in the world----most of it built b the British. Mike

hi Mike, Hope your well, had a walk up to see you today, then i thought you may be closed for the winter. Are you off to India again to ride on the best rail lines even if the trains are a little crowded, or so I'm told.
