    Could Llandudno-Chester Be Half-Hourly, with more Stops?

    Could reopening to Llangefni be justified and the remainder converted for bikes. Thinking of whether the Manchester - Bangor could turn around there instead.

    Never North Wales after ATW came into being - only those that ended their lives with Northern went to North Wales under FNW. Theres a picture out there from 2003 with a 142 substituting for a 175 on a Manchester - Llandudno at Manchester Oxford Road.

    Weird train-related dreams

    For whatever reason, I found myself in Israel, watching the skyline of a city through a large panoramic window. Whilst watching, a Class 197 passed on the track below. Dream logic dictated that this Israeli city was simultaneously on the North Wales Coast.
