Enclosed are photos of the remaining signalling left on the Conwy Valley line. Today. Llanrwst is the only remaining passing loop on the whole line, before 1966 loops existed at Tal-y-Cafn, Betws-y-Coed and Dolwyddelan. From 1966 Tal-y-Cafn was resignalled and a new 5 lever GF was commissioned on the down platform controlling a distant signal each way and a gate lock. On the 29th April 1993 an incident happened at Tal-y-Cafn when a passenger train ploughed through the gates. From that day the signalling was disconnected and the GF on the platform was taken out of use. New reflectorised distant boards replaced the semaphore distant signals on the 11th August 1996. At Llanrwst the distant signals were replaced by reflectorised distant boards in June 1989.
