Transport for Wales have written confirming that their intention is to have direct train services running from Manchester Airport to Conwy town from May 2026 onwards.
The confirmation comes following Janet Finch-Saunders MS/AS asking that the stop be included in the Network North Wales plans. Before her intervention there was a possibility that the new direct service would not stop in Conwy town.
Commenting on the direct service to Conwy town, Janet said:
“Conwy town is one of the leading destinations and attractions of the whole of Wales.
“With a Pirate Festival, Classical Music Festival, historic Honey Fayre, and many other exceptional community events held within the town walls, huge numbers of people flock there annually.
“In fact, over a quarter of a million visit Conwy Castle every year. Clearly, it is commonsense for Conwy town to have a direct service to Manchester Airport. It will provide one of our nation’s most important destinations with an international gateway, and enable even more to visit the area on public transport”.
