conwy valley line

The Conwy Valley Line is a railway line in North Wales. It runs from Llandudno via Llandudno Junction (Welsh: Cyffordd Llandudno) to Blaenau Ffestiniog, and was originally part of the London and North Western Railway, being opened in stages to 1879. The main stretch from Llandudno Junction to Blaenau is single track, and includes the longest single track railway tunnel in the United Kingdom (4.22 km). It is operated by Arriva Trains Wales and is being marketed as the Conwy Valley Railway (Welsh: Rheilfordd Dyffryn Conwy). The original line terminated in a station to the west of Blaenau Ffestiniog. However following the closure of the former Great Western Railway line to Bala a short section of this line was connected to the Conwy Valley Line, to serve the nuclear power station at Trawsfynydd and a new Blaenau Ffestiniog station was constructed in the centre of the town. Beyond the new station the line is used only for goods traffic connectd with Trawsfynydd, although occasional special passenger trains have been run at times. There are connections at Llandudno Junction with the North Wales Coast Line (the main line between London and Holyhead) and at Blaenau Ffestiniog with the Ffestiniog Railway.
