'Talking Trakz' Railway Talks in Llandudno Junction
There will be a series of five talks held on Wednesday evenings in March and April about the history of Llandudno Junction as a railway town. Each evening has its unique flavour. Some are illustrated, while others are not. One will be an unusual interactive presentation on railway history. With its position in the middle of the north Wales coast and its spur to the coastal beauties of Llandudno, the town grew thanks to the railway network. Visitors will be very welcome. Talks start at 7.30pm, the venue is the Maelgwyn pub in Osborne Terrace, Llandudno Junction. Entry is free, but donations are welcome to support the 'Trakz Busking Festival', on 18 April, 'a Street festival bringing the local community, railway and businesses together for a fun, family friendly event' (More info on Facebook).
