Dolwyddelan railway station


Dolwyddelan railway station is a passenger station in the Lledr Valley, Wales, on the Conwy Valley Line from Llandudno Junction to Blaenau Ffestiniog, which is operated by Transport for Wales. It is located at Pentre-Bont across the river a few hundred yards from the centre of Dolwyddelan. The station is unmanned.

Facilities

The platform used to be an island platform as there was a passing loop on the west side. There used to be a substantial station building on the platform and a footbridge up to the road bridge. Both have now been removed and only remaining building is a standard waiting shelter. It is however fitted with a CIS display to offer train running details. Step-free access is provided from the car park to the platform.

Services

Five southbound and six northbound trains call on request Mon-Sat, with four trains each way on Sundays. From 16 March 2019 services were suspended from here due to major flood damage to the track further north caused by Storm Gareth. The line remained closed for several months whilst repairs were carried out, with services resumed on 24 July 2019. Further storm damage to the north in February 2020 has once again seen services suspended, with buses replacing trains until September 2020.
