Tregarth railway station

Tregarth railway station is a disused railway station in Gwynedd, Wales. It was located on the Bethesda Branch line, just north of the village of Tregarth itself.

History

The station was opened by the London and North Western Railway on 1 July 1884 as originally the terminus of the 4.25-mile (6.84 km) Bethesda branch line before it was later extended to the town of Bethesda.[1]

The station was host to two LMS caravans from 1935 to 1939.[2]

The station closed to passengers on 3 December 1951 and was closed on 7 October 1963.[1][3] Since closure the station building has been demolished and only a short section of platform remains.[4]
