Arriva route 24 between mochdre and Colwyn bay via rhos on sea has such a stop on its route with a sign on one side of the road saying in both directions . It's located next to the co-op on Llandudno road.

Chiltern i would think would be a good option for electrification seeing as it serves London and a huge area of the home counties and would release a tone of somewhat modern DMUs and the class 68s so I think it's likely to be electrified in the long term and probably wouldn't use 323s or 455s

What about one for Stafford ? Could allow virgin services northwards to avoid going through the station without stopping plus freight could use it as well.

I would cut the service back to Chester it's a ridiculous route and it's easier for people from North Wales to go to Crewe and use virgin or LNWR

Wouldn't they look at the Sheffield - Rotherham tram train instead The Welsh ones are trains that can act as trams .

I would prefer to see more Wales and borders branding in some places like Shrewsbury or Chester . new livery looks great on the 175s I'm going to miss them.

Could they have a few test runs to holyhead and Llandudno ? Would be useful to check if they fit the route before the transport for wales ones arrive .

I think it's an LNWR service there referring to so 350s and aventras

Technically there 769s but pretty much yes . Although for a different purpose than originally intended. It was originally intended for them to work commuter services from Paddington but the 769s will work reading area locals .

I thought of 400 because the Sheffield city links are 399s your probably right.

Logically the civitys would be 197s and the city links would be class 400s but probably not .

There was a picture in a modern railways magazine some time ago of at least 5 power lines of various sizes somewhere on the branch with a 185 in the back ground so centenary isn't new to the lake district.

I would take Wales and borders and do the following : Order a fleet of 30 5 coach CAF mk5 sets and 15 class 88s to propel them . The current number of civitys on order wouldn't change other than I would make some of them bi-mode Then I would redesign the network into fast and slow services...

Interesting idea all I can realistically suggest is to extend the Chester terminators to Bangor with the same number of services to holyhead as at present.

Yes your right about that Although I'm sure 153s no longer work the route or at least i haven't seen one on there since at least 2010

Might work on the Conwy valley line but theyre getting civitys

Isn't that similar to virgin cross-countrys plans for the voyagers ? (Increase the frequency but have short trains)

Thought it was something like that thanks

Oh right thought they did for some reason

Aren't there some heart of Wales trains that run to Cardiff ? Would 170s work those as well.
