From Monday 29 September to Sunday 26 October, Network Rail will be closing the Conwy Valley line between Blaenau Ffestiniog and Llandudno Junction for four weeks. There will be a bus replacement service.
The line has had to be closed for over 500 days over the last 10 years due to storms and high winds.
The closure is taking place so to remove all high-risk trees to minimise delays from extreme weather and reduce closures in future.
Commenting on the works, Janet said:
“I welcome Network Rail’s continued investment in the Conwy Valley Railway Line.
“Throughout the Summer I have been engaging with residents the length of the Conwy Valley about how train services can be improved. The passion for the service and positive ideas for the future are phenomenal.
“However, if we are to work towards achieving rail services that better suit our communities, we need the line to be resilient, so I welcome this significant project”.
