Betws-y-Coed railway station

The Conwy Valley line was constructed by the London and North Western Railway with the primary aim of transporting dressed slate from the Blaenau Ffestiniog quarries to a specially built quay at Deganwy for export by sea. The original plans envisaged a railhead at Betws-y-Coed and a large goods yard was established with intended interchange to a proposed narrow gauge line.Six trains each way per day call on a regular basis Mon-Sat (approximately every three hours), with three trains each way on Sundays between May and early September.
