1535: 1453: 42: 1543: 1445: 1738:. Years later a new Blaenau Ffestiniog station was constructed in the centre of the town. Beyond the new station, the line was used only for goods traffic connected with Trawsfynydd, although occasional special passenger trains have been run at times. In recent years, the traffic from Trawsfynydd has ceased completely (the last charter special ran in October 1998) and the line has been disconnected from the Conwy Valley line just outside Blaenau Ffestiniog station. 975: 1627: 962: 955: 804: 442: 352: 1013: 797: 753: 4247: 3655: 513: 435: 989: 906: 873: 863: 506: 391: 932: 924: 914: 855: 775: 881: 811: 731: 709: 687: 665: 643: 621: 599: 577: 555: 484: 413: 1635: 3643: 1278:'s heavy rainfall on 8–9 February 2020 once again damaged the trackbed near the Conwy estuary north of Llanrwst, closing the line yet again. Ballast was washed away in several sections. The line reopened on 28 September following repair work and additional mitigation work in vulnerable locations. Progress of the repair work was partly affected by the 1305:(over 2.2 miles or 3.5 kilometres). The line's summit 790 feet (240 m) above sea level is located midway through the tunnel and the gradients either side of it are as steep as 1-in-47 (2.1%) on the southbound ascent through Pont-y-pant and 1-in-43 (2.3%) on the climb out of the terminus at Blaenau for northbound trains. 1504:

Five months later on 17 October the BR Standard tank no 80079 returned for a rematch on the route, this time she was to haul four coaches instead of six, and she was working the trip with another member of her class no 80098. Once again 80079 slipped to a stand near Pont-y-Pant and 80098, which had

and also the developing tourist industry. Although only a little over 27 miles (43 km) between Llandudno and Blaenau Ffestiniog, the journey takes over one hour, largely due to the sinuous and steeply graded nature of the route taken (particularly south of Betws-y-Coed). Most of the stations
