The renovation project will redevelop the Llandudno station’s existing buildings and concourse areas, creating new ticketing and customer facilities. The existing roof canopy will be extended, while a new glazed booking hall structure and waiting area will link to the station’s existing main entrance.
The project will also create new seats, entrances and lighting and refurbish the existing doors. Additionally, a new car park for up to 50 cars will be constructed along with drop-off points and a bus lay-by with two bus stops at the front of the station. Additional bicycle storage facilities will also be provided.
The renovation project will aim to retain the Llandudno station’s historical features and heritage. To achieve this, the project will reuse materials from demolished sections of the station roof canopy in the remodelled roof extension. This will also help in retaining all the roof features.
Designs are due to be finished in spring 2013, with construction expected to be completed by 2014. Additionally, all designs are being developed to meet ‘Very Good’ BREEAM sustainability rating.
The scheme is being delivered by Network Rail on behalf of the Welsh Government and is part of the Department for Transport’s National Stations Improvement Programme. The project has been supported by the European Regional Development Fund, through the Welsh Government.
