Residents have won a 10-year battle to reopen a section of coastal footpath crossing a rail line in a north Wales town.
The path at Deganwy, near Conwy, cut across the section of track linking the line to Llandudno.
It was closed by Network Rail in 2011, but local campaigners and politicians launched a campaign to reopen it, which went to the High Court.

Robin Millar MP▸ , who replaced Guto Bebb as the Conservative MP for Aberconwy at the 2019 General Election, said it was a "David and Goliath battle".
He called on Network Rail to reopen the crossing as soon as possible.
He said: "I know how delighted everyone is to have heard this news at the start of this new year."
A spokesman for Network Rail said: "Following the court's decision to refuse our appeal, we are currently assessing what this means in terms of next steps."
Battle won, but war not over with no concession by Network Rail??
