Not from Anglesey, but there is an hourly train from Llandudno which is part of the catchment area that VLY would serve.
STN is a huge Airport with 100's of flights a day from many different markets. Bearing in mind the opening time of VLY, would a twice daily flight really be timed sufficiently for anyone to self connect and would the North West of Wales really support such flights?
The market that STN serves is mainly low cost Airlines or charter. Unless the VLY-STN is subsidised, which it will highly unlikely be allowed to be, then the cost of operating that flight would result in high flight costs.
