Llanbedr railway station (formerly Talwrn Bach) serves the village of Llanbedr in Gwynedd, Wales. The station is an unstaffed halt on the Cambrian Coast Railway with passenger services to {{rws|Porthmadog}}, {{rws|Pwllheli}}, {{rws|Barmouth}}, {{rws|Machynlleth}} and {{rws|Shrewsbury}}. The station is a request stop and close to the popular camping resort of Shell Island.
From 22 June 2020, trains did not call at the station due to the short platform and the inability to maintain social distancing between passengers and the guard when opening the train door.{{Cite web|url=https://tfwrail.wales/covid-19/changes-train-times|title=Covid-19 timetable from 29 March 2021|date=17 May 2021 }} This meant that, in the Office of Rail and Road's statistics, it became one of Britain's least used stations, recording no passengers in the year 2020–21. However, the station has since reopened according to Transport for Wales, the train operator which provides services to and from the station.{{Cite web | url=https://tfw.wales/places/stations/llanbedr | title=Llanbedr | Transport for Wales | date=13 August 2021 }}
