Matt78 replied to the thread The Gwili Railway thread.
the track geometry will need to be realigned to allow operations north of Bridge 10 so therefore it’s likely that the line will not open fully until the rails reach Conwil. Danycoed would no longer be required so will be closed. We may retain...

Fantastic to see work beginning on extending! can I ask what the plan is for Danycoed going forwards? Will the loop be removed and the station closed when you reach Conwil? Is there also going to be propelling for passenger services past bridge...
