![Token exchange between class 108 and class 142 crossing services at Llanrwst on the Blaenau Ffestiniog branch in July 1986.<br><br>[Ian Dinmore 12/07/1986]](/images/18000/18885.jpg "North Llanrwst")
![View south from Llanrwst on the Blaenau Ffestiniog branch in July 1986. The station was renamed Llanwrst North by BR in 1989. Note the smoke stains on the bridge.<br><br>[Ian Dinmore 12/07/1986]](/images/20000/20640.jpg "North Llanrwst")

![The setting sun illuminates the remote halt of Dolgarrog, separated from the village it serves by the River Conwy and only accessible from there by footbridge. View north towards Tal-y-Cafn on a Sunday afternoon. Blaenau Ffestiniog trains only run Monday to Saturday so there is a thin film of rust on the rails.<br><br>[Mark Bartlett 28/11/2011]](/images/36000/36716.jpg "Dolgarrog")
![The 1457 from Blaenau Ffestiniog runs alongside the Conwy estuary towards the last station on the branch, Glan Conwy. The ATW Class 150 Sprinter will continue through to Llandudno and make a further two trips along the branch before the day is done. <br><br>[Mark Bartlett 29/11/2011]](/images/36000/36624.jpg "Glan Conwy")
![There are only six trains a day on the Blaenau Ffestiniog branch in the 2011 timetable. One Sprinter suffices for services and this is the only surviving passing loop at what was the original Llanrwst station. It was renamed North Llanrwst when a new halt opened in the centre of the town in 1989. View north towards Llandudno Junction with the signal box visible at the far end of the loop.<br><br>[Mark Bartlett 01/12/2011]](/images/36000/36671.jpg "North Llanrwst")
![Tal-y-Cafn, on the Blaenau Ffestiniog branch, looking from the level crossing north towards Llandudno Junction. The station was formerly a passing loop and the redundant platform survives. A crossing keeper still opens the gates for the six trains a day in each direction. <br><br>[Mark Bartlett 01/12/2011]](/images/36000/36749.jpg "Tal-y-Cafn")
![Looking south from the platform at what is now known as North Llanrwst towards Betws-y-Coed and Blaenau Ffestiniog in December 2011. The <I>New</I> Llanrwst station is in the town centre of Llanrwst, just around the bend beyond the bridge.

![First station on the Blaenau Ffestiniog branch from Llandudno Junction is Glan Conwy, overlooking the Conwy estuary. The station house is now in private ownership and a shelter is provided at the north end of the platform on the lower section. This view looks north and the distant colour light for the junction with the main line can just be seen.<br><br>[Mark Bartlett 03/12/2011]](/images/36000/36795.jpg "Glan Conwy")
![Glan Conwy's location, overlooking the Conwy estuary, is as picturesque as they come. It was named Llansaintffraid when it first opened and was a Beeching casualty in 1964 but reopened in 1970. The shelter is on the original low level section of platform with a newer raised area beyond the entrance. View south towards Llanrwst and Blaenau Ffestiniog.<br><br>[Mark Bartlett 03/12/2011]](/images/36000/36859.jpg "Glan Conwy")
![Having paused at the signalbox to exchange tokens, the 1653 Llandudno - Blaenau Ffestiniog carries on through North Llanrwst station on 14th April 2015 without being requested to stop.<br><br>[Colin McDonald 14/04/2015]](/images/51000/51242.jpg "North Llanrwst")

![Late afternoon sunshine at Tal-y-Cafn on 14th April 2015. The board on the retained but disused up platform still displays the full former name of Tal-y-Cafn & Eglwsbach.<br><br>[Colin McDonald 14/04/2015]](/images/51000/51422.jpg "Tal-y-Cafn")
