Llanfairfechan railway station

It was opened on 1 May 1860 by the London and North Western Railway, some twelve years after the line serving it.[http://www.disused-stations.org.uk/l/llanfairfechan/ Disused Stations - Llanfairfechan]

Disused Stations Site Record; Retrieved 30 May 2017 It was provided with a goods yard, signal box and a sizeable station building on the eastbound platform. A camping coach was positioned here by the London Midland Region from 1960 to 1964.{{cite book|last=McRae|first=Andrew|title=British Railway Camping Coach Holidays: The 1930s & British Railways (London Midland Region) |volume=Scenes from the Past: 30 (Part One) |publisher=Foxline |year=1997 |isbn=1-870119-48-7|pages=41 & 50}} Goods traffic ceased here in June 1964, but it remained open for passenger services. The station building was demolished in 1987, during construction work for the A55 North Wales Coast dual carriageway which runs next to the railway at this location - the site was also altered (the retaining wall for the road backs directly onto the eastbound platform) and the station temporarily closed as a consequence of this. The station reopened once the work was complete. The original station footbridge still stands, but the other surviving structures all date from the 1987 alterations.

No permanent buildings are left here now besides the footbridge and a stone shelter on each side, the station is unstaffed. Tickets must be purchased from the guard on the train or before travel, as no ticket machine is present. Train running details are offered via telephone, digital display screens, or timetable poster boards. Though the footbridge has steps, the station is fully accessible for a wheelchair or mobility-impaired users via ramps from the West Shore or the footpath from the town centre next to the A55.[http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/stations/llf/details.html Llanfairfechan station facilities]National Rail Enquiries
