The Conwy Valley Line has been closed indefinitely.
Significant flooding from storms on the weekend has caused "severe" damage to the railway resulting in its closure until it can be fixed.
A Network Rail spokesperson, in a statement, said: "We apologise to passengers who have been affected by the closure of the Conwy Valley Line.
"This is due to significant flooding, which has caused severe damage to the railway and lineside equipment.

"To keep passengers safe, the line will remain closed until our engineers have completed detailed assessments and delivered any necessary repairs.
"We are working closely with Transport for Wales to keep passengers moving during the closure of the line, and a rail replacement bus service will be in operation until it reopens.
"We will continue to keep passengers and the local community informed while the essential repair work is completed."

Councillor Philip Evans, chair of the Conwy Valley Railway partnership, said: “The adverse weather has affected many in the valley and the railway has suffered as well.
"Clearly, work has to done at various locations to bring the line back into safe use.
"I hope the prompt provision of the replacement service will go some way to meeting travellers’ needs in the meantime.”
