From Wales Online

A major study into restarting a rail link in Gwynedd has unveiled a preferred route for a train-tram service. The route between Bangor and Afon Wen on the Llyn Peninsula was closed in the Beeching cuts of the 1960s.

Campaigners have long called for a line to be reinstated and a feasibility study was ordered by Transport for Wales. The North West Wales Feasibility Report by AtkinsRéalis has now been published which shows a preferred route and the many challenges any new line would face.

We don't have a separate Afon Wen to Bangor thread ... because our discussions here have so much been looking at the complete north to south link.  And the work being done by Atkins disappoints many because it's tram trained and street running - not briiant for freight and the idea of getting on a tram at Cardiff Bay, all stops to Cortyon and onwards to Amlwch would be slow and not attractive.

Grahame they also released a separate report looking a express coach service from Carmarthen to Bangor via Aberystwyth  in addition to the T1/T2 bus service.
