Llandudno: Network Rail plans to modernise railway station
NETWORK Rail plans to modernise Llandudno railway station in an effort to "improve its efficiency and convenience", a move which could also support local community initiatives.
The company is behind plans for the installation of a freestanding 65-inch digital screen at the front of the station, which it said would "cause no detriment to the historic fabric of the station".
The screen will primarily be used for advertising, as well as for emergency information and customer information such as updates on trains and delays.

I find myself wondering if it's really about customer information improvement, or more about generating advertising revenue.
Llandudno is a mixture of ancient and modern at present - and I can appreciate the wish to replace the whiteboard with something that can be dynamically updated.
