Date/Time: August, 1952. The Llandudno & Colwyn Bay Electric Railway was one of the few British examples of an "interurban": that is, a tramway/light rail system that started in a town (running on street track), then ran cross-country, and entered another town. It ran, of course, between the towns of Llandudno and Colwyn Bay, though at one time it continued on to Old Colwyn. In Llandudno, the L&CBER started at the West Shore, headed east along Gloddaeth St. and turned right onto Mostyn St. before heading out of town. It continued across the Little Orme (a headland at the opposite end of town from the Great Orme) around Penrhyn Bay, and into Colwyn Bay. The "middle section" (outside of the downtown sections) of the line was:-
At this time, the L&CBER still had at least one of its original single-deck interurban cars (no. 17) and a batch of open "toast-rack" cars, but also had double-deck cars obtained from Bournemouth and Darwen, and single-deck cars from Accrington.
