I must admit I agree with fester, I think a brand new station should have been built but I think there would have been to many objections when we finish it will have all new facilities but you will still have that red stock brick exterior which is not that nice really.

[Bigmurph]

We started back at the station today after holidays, the weather can't get any worse really well we hope so ? After 3 weeks of  high winds and lots of rain we only had 1 fence panel damaged and we also lost to safety signs if found please return them to the site office, more updates to follow within the next few weeks.

I hope the safety signs didn't blow on to anyone's head!  :twoface:

Great photos once again dave, paving to the front is going well we start paving under the canopy later this week,work on the roof is nearly complete, the second fix is underway on the inside of the building we hope to start laying the vinyl floor coverings next week. Dave next time you are down let me know we have some spare orange ppe I can give u a guided tour of the building.

Will the large clock be going back once the work on the railway station has been completed?

And what about the old station seats? Last time I was there they had been replaced by modern metal monstrosities and the Llandudno ones had been dumped in a fenced-off part of another station further down the line.

[Bigmurph]

A new clock will be fitted over the new few weeks it will be in the same position as the old clock, there will be new seats fitted in the concourse and under the refurbished canopy, I don't know what is happening to the old llandudno benches it would be nice if they were returned to the station I will try and find out over the next few days.

Let's hope Network Rail arent flogging them off on ebay to raise a few quid... 

[llewelyn]

Drew the reclaimation expert would buy them, he loves stuff like these.

What happened to the old clock, I would like that?

One is in theback yard of the museum.Bench that is.

[Bigmurph]

The old clock wasn't very old and was made of fibre glass it was damaged when we were shotblasting the steel beams over the concourse, the clock was only fitted 15 years ago the same company are supplying the new clock. Still no word on the benches I wouldn't be surprised if they are owned by the council they would look nice painted up in the new colours of maroon and buttermilk.

I don't suppose any interesting old railway relics were found when clearing out the old buildings?
