Case study: Llandudno Station Network Plan

Around 400,000 passengers per year pass through Llandudno Railway Station passengers per year. With our intended improvements to the connection times from Llandudno Junction, we expect to see these numbers increase in the
near future.

Currently, the majority of people accessing the station do so via active travel modes (71%).1 However, there are critical design features on the routes surrounding the station that limit people’s ability to walk, wheel or cycle to and from the station.

TfW collaborated with Conwy County Borough Council on the initial stages (TfW Plan of Works Stage A & B) on the prioritisation of routes for improvement connecting to and from Llandudno railway station, for which Conwy have proceeded with a section to site, and TfW and Conwy development of a section to preliminary design.

Through the development, Conwy County Borough Council and TfW have been working closely with key stakeholders and representatives of those along the route. Conwy County Borough Council commissioned Pell Frischmann for the design of the first section. Through TfW’s procurement frameworks, we were able to commission ARUP to support on the design stage. This sharing of responsibilities allowed for officers’ time (from both organisations) to be better allocated to suit the project’s aims.
