A former junction station on the North Wales Narrow Gauge Railways for the main line and the Bryngwyn Branch.

History

Following closure in 1936 by the Welsh Highland Railway the station building fell into disuse. Work began in 2009 on restoration of the station by the Welsh Highland Heritage Group. The first part, re-construction of a platform, was completed in Spring 2010 following which a single "Sponsors Special" had been the only train to stop there in 2010. In 2011 with the commencement of the main season it became a timetabled request stop. Currently, the ex-NWNGR passenger facility is under restoration.
