HAULED RUN OF LLANDUDNO & COLWYN BAY 7 TODAY!
Llandudno & Colwyn Bay Tramway Society – Saturday 20th October 2007

Don’t forget that if you are in the North Wales area this Saturday – 20th October – there is to be a hauled run of the replica tram Llandudno & Colwyn Bay 7 along the full length of the former tramway. Read on for full details of where you will be able to see the tram.

Departs Llandudno (West Shore Terminus) at 1100, and then goes via the following locations:
Llandudno Mostyn Street (approximately 5 minutes later)
Craig-y-Don (at least 10 minutes later)
Penrhynside (at least 15 minutes later)
Penrhyn Bay (at least 20 minutes later)
Rhos-on-Sea (at least 25 minutes later)
West End (at least 30 minutes later)
Colwyn Bay (opposite St Pauls) – where it will pause for 30 minutes
The tram will then continue to Old Colwyn (former Queens Hotel) along as much of the former tramway route as possible.

The tram will then proceed to Premaen Head to reverse and later back to the Queens Hotel for an afternoon run from Old Colwyn (the former Queens Hotel), departing at 1400. This run will go through to Rhos-On-Sea promenade where there will be a 60 minute stop.

The routing and timings may be subject to change in the event of modification in the event of breakdown or adverse traffic conditions.
