Question
Will the Minister explain why Llandudno Railway Station opening hours are less than railway stations with less customer use?
Answer
Answered by Deputy Minister for Climate Change
Transport for Wales consider a number of factors when deciding the opening hours for staffed stations, including the type of facilities at the station such as a booking office and its level of usage and sales data. Any increase in opening hours would typically require additional staff or additional staff hours to be funded. Transport for Wales have advised that they are currently considering a proposal for additional staffing along the North Wales coast, including at Llandudno Station, as part of their annual business planning process.
