Judging by some of the reviews, and not to mention the dozens of irrelevant photos, some people have failed to spot that this listing is for Llandudno Railway Station rather than the town of Llandudno which may have skewed the scores awarded.
The station is quite nice, having had a major revamp a few years back, and is reasonably close to the town centre. Currently there are direct services to Manchester Airport otherwise you need to get the shuttle service to Llandudno Junction where you can catch trains to places such as London, Cardiff, Birmingham and Holyhead. There is a proposal which would see the direct services to Manchester cease to exist (the trains would go to and from Bangor rather than Llandudno) but there's another proposal to introduce direct services to Liverpool so it may be a case of swings and roundabouts.
The big problem with this station is it's very limited opening hours. You can get to the platforms in the evening via a gate at the side of the building but the ticket office and toilets are closed very early on each day, which isn't ideal in a town which is home to many elderly people and attracts a lot of...
Read moreI go to Llandudno 3,4 times a year so know the station well .It has plenty of places to sit and the toilets are ok. Also the car park is quite big .But the woman who works at the counter NICOLA has the worse attitude I have ever come across and I go to a lot of stations .she just can't be bothered she looks at you like what the flip do you want .she also needs more training, she gave me the wrong cycle reservation in the summer and in September I wanted to buy a ticket so went to counter , she had her hand on her chin and gave me a unwelcome look and then she told me the wrong information and when I looked it up on website I realised I was right , so I went back to buy ticket and then she lied to me and would not serve me and said she was closing in mid conversation. So I had to go to the other station Llandudno Junction and I got the ticket in 2min. I must say the other guy who works there is friendly and knows he's stuff so all depends what...
Read moreLlandudno is a coastal town in north Wales. It’s known for North Shore Beach and 19th-century Llandudno Pier, with shops and a games arcade. Northwest of town, the cliffs of Great Orme headland jut into the sea. Ancient tunnels lead to a cavern at Great Orme Mines. A 1902 tramway has an upper and lower section, and travels to the headland’s summit. To the east, smaller headland Little Orme is a nature reserve. Llandudno is the largest seaside resort in Wales, and as early as 1861 was being called 'the Queen of the Welsh Watering Places' (a phrase later also used in connection with Tenby and Aberystwyth ; the word 'resort' came a little later). Historically a part of Caernarfonshire, Llandudno was formerly in the district of Aberconwy...
