Colwyn Bay station and
the weeds are returning for the Summer as 47816, in ex-FGW livery
and en route Holyhead, enters with the 10.49 from Crewe. With
a full Virgin set trailing, this train should have been the 08.35
from London Euston but was temporarily running short due to closure
of the West Coast Mail Line between London and Stafford. Diesel
haulage is scheduled to run until the timetable change in September
2004 when either Super Voyagers or Pendolino sets are understood
to be taking over the Holyhead-London and Llandudno-London services. |
