Abstract: Let $K$ be a link of Conway's normal form $C(m)$, $mgeq0$, or $C(m,n)$ with $mnextgreater0$, and let $D$ be a trigonal diagram of $K.$ We show that it is possible to transform $D$ into an alternating trigonal diagram, so that all intermediate diagrams remain trigonal, and the number of crossings never increases.
