The Great Orme Tramway (Welsh: Tramffordd y Gogarth) in Llandudno is a funicular railway consisting of a tramway and a mountain railway, both operated by traction cables. Despite its tram-like design, it is not a cable car, as the carriages cannot be separated from the cable during operation. This train connects Victoria railway station in Llandudno with the approximately 200-metre-high Great Orme (Welsh: Pen y Gogarth) on the peninsula of the same name. It was put into operation in 1902.
