A railway line in the Conwy Valley will remain closed for a "number of months" following damage caused by Storm Gareth.

Network Rail said inspections revealed multiple sections of track, bridges, level crossings and stations between Llandudno Junction and Blaenau Ffestiniog require "significant repairs."

It added engineers are working to restore the line as "quickly and safely as possible".

A number of rivers burst their banks when Storm Gareth hit

Heavy rainfall led to flooding across North and Mid Wales earlier this month.

A number of rivers burst its banks and left properties damaged and roads closed.

The owners of the historic Gwydir Castle said the rainfall was the worst they had ever seen.
