Betws-y-Coed station
Betws-y-Coed station With the mist and low cloud mixing with the smoke from chimneys Betws-y-Coed station nestles in the bottom of the Conwy Valley. It was opened in 1868 LNWR but by the time I took this photograph the building had been rationalised and was somewhat run-down. I am standing on the footbridge that joined the up and down platforms that, by this stage, merely provided access to the adjacent Conwy Valley Railway Museum as the line had been singled. Now the station has been much improved with a large canopy reinstalled. The building functions as a café, visitors centre, bed and breakfast accommodation and is the home for a number of small retail outlets. Passenger numbers have been on the rise but will take a dive during 2019 caused by the four month closure of the Conwy Valley line due to extensive damage caused by flooding as a result of Storm Gareth in March.
