Llanrwst railway station


Llanrwst railway station is in Denbigh Street near the centre of the market town of Llanrwst, Wales, close to the local bus termini in Watling Street. It is situated on the Conwy Valley Line from Llandudno Junction to Blaenau Ffestiniog south of the former and was opened by British Rail in 1989. The town's original station to the north is now called North Llanrwst.

Facilities

The station here is unstaffed and has the same basic amenities seen at others on the line - a waiting shelter, timetable poster boards and digital information screen. Tickets must be bought on the train or prior to travel. Step-free access to the platform is available via a ramp from the main road.

Services

Six trains call each way on Mon-Sat, with four trains each way on Sundays. As of March 2019 however, all services from here were suspended following major flood damage to the track and other infrastructure in the area by the River Conwy as a result of Storm Gareth on 16 March 2019. A replacement bus service operated, with repairs expected to take several months to complete. The line reopened northwards to Llandudno on 18 July 2019, ahead of the staging of the National Eisteddfod in the town. The remainder followed from 24 July. Further damage to the line caused by flooding from Storm Ciara forced the closure of the route again on 8 February 2020 - repairs are currently in progress, with reopening scheduled for 7th September 2020.
