THE Conwy Valley Line, between Blaenau Ffestiniog to Llandudno, was due to reopen on September 28 after the completion of Network Rail's £2.2million project to better protect the branch line from extreme weather and flooding.
The scenic and popular line has been washed away twice in the past two years, firstly for five months for repairs in 2019 after Storm Gareth, then most recently in February this year after Storm Ciara, when ballast was washed away by floodwater at several sites.
The storm has also damaged fencing and level crossings at several locations .
