Having produced this composite diagram I've put it here for those who know more than I do about this area to work on, possibly. Britmax (talk) 18:56, 27 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

|} This fine route diagram has just made me realise that most of the little route diagrams that I added to this page when expanding it are actually rather unneccesary. As a result, I'm removing the diagrams for the proposed (unbuilt) branches. Thank you for the proverbial prod to re-evaluate my (very early) contributions.

I'm reluctant to put the Red Wharf Bay branch in the main diagram as they'd both be light red, but the RWB has been taken up, while the Amlwch line's track remains. With the NWCL passing by as well, it's not possible to show three types of track with two colours. Ansbaradigeidfran (talk) 23:31, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
