Trains are running once again on a storm hit line.
The first passenger train on the Conwy Valley line rolled into North Llanrwst on time at 5.47am this morning.
But because work to repair the line after flooding caused by Storm Gareth in March is continuing the train terminated at the station.
A rail replacement bus continued the service to Blaenau Ffestiniog .

Just over an hour later, after the Class 150 two carriage train had switched platforms, the train returned to Llandudno Junction.
Network Rail and Transport for Wales officials hope trains will run along the entire line from next week.
Locals said they were glad to see the line open once again .
