THE Conwy Valley Line which runs between Blaenau Ffestiniog and Llandudno did not reopen today as expected, and a bus replacement service will operate until further notice.

The line, which runs from Blaenau Ffestiniog to Llandudno, closed on Tuesday, 19 January following flood damage caused by Storm Christoph.

Transport for Wales said yesterday that it expected the line to reopen today, Thursday, but now it will remain closed until further notice with a bus replacement service in place instead.

TfW has also published a reduced coronavirus timetable introduced.

A spokesperson for Transport for Wales said: “The Conwy Valley line is now rail replacement bus services (two return services a day) until further notice following the reduced Covid-19 timetable.”
