Interlude at Llandudno Junction 3. As 47100 brakes its train

to a stop in Llandudno Junction’s main up platform the Freightliner for Holyhead is slowing as it takes the line towards the bridge at Conway. The containers being carried on its train have long since been discontinued as larger and longer boxes have been introduced often resulting in the need for relevant lines needing the tunnels and bridges en route expanded, to allow the gauge to be increased to carry them.
