Demand for better facilities at North Wales railway stations

Holyhead train station

FED-UP rail passengers in North Wales are demanding better facilities at stations.

Toilets, waiting rooms and more information on train times are a top priority.

Lack of parking spaces and bicycle storage were also highlighted in a survey of five rural stations on Anglesey.

Passenger Focus, the rail passenger watchdog, asked passengers their views on what improvements should be made to Llanfairpwll, Bodorgan, T Croes, Rhosneigr and Valley stations as part of planning for the five-year National Stations Improvement Programme (NSIP).

Snow grinds North Wales to halt

The snow-hit A55 at St Asaph

Daily Post reader Steffan Lewis, stuck on the Glan Conwy to Llanrwst Road, said: “Traffic is moving slowly. Two cars had bumped into each other on the hill near Bodnant Gardens.

“I think they’ve been caught out and left it a bit late before gritting.”

Dozens of schools were shut across the region and thousands of staff working the afternoon shift at Airbus, Broughton were sent home while nightshift workers were advised not to turn up. The company expected to be open today.

There was a spate of accidents across the region with cars skidding in the snow and causing huge tailbacks.
