Is there room for more paths between Anglesey and the North Wales coast?

I've had a detailed response back from the Welsh Goverment.
They asked TfW rail to look at the shuttle idea. -- The short answer is it can't reverse at Llanfair or Bangor(!) and they don't have any spare trains.

They added stops at LPG to these existing services.

  1. 05:11 Cardiff Central > Holyhead ~09:46
  2. 10:41 Holyhead> Llanelli at ~11:03
  3. 09:35 Manchester Airport > Holyhead at ~12:12
  4. 13:07 Holyhead > Manchester Airport at ~13:34
  5. 14:34 Holyhead > Cardiff Central at ~14:54
  6. 15:06 Birmingham International > Holyhead at ~18:54
  7. 17:30 Manchester Airport > Holyhead at ~20:24
  8. 20:32 Holyhead > Crewe at ~20:52

Bold are ones I mentioned earlier as being a reasonable addition to the timetable.

I'll be on the 11:03 tomorrow. No longer a speculative idea.

Congrats on getting this looked at and implemented! Reversal at Bangor is complicated by the need to shunt multiple times.
