Bangor formerly Bangor (Gwynedd) formerly Bangor (Caerns)
(1848 - )
Bangor Station was opened on May 1 1848 by the Chester and Holyhead Railway. The station was progressively expanded into a junction station as a number of branch lines were opened
The station was renamed twice under British Railways: originally Bangor, it became Bangor (Caerns); then Bangor (Gwynedd). In some timetables it was shown as Bangor for Beaumaris
The present building on platform 1 was the main building. Between 1924 and 1927 an additional loop line and platform were constructed on the site of the forecourt with a new frontage which is still in use as the station booking office. Ultimately there were four platforms and a small bay platform to serve the main line and branch lines
With the closure of the branch lines in the 1960s and 1970s, the station was reduced to just two operational platforms, with the track and platform on the pre-1920s forecourt converted back to something like its original use
The station is staffed seven days a week by both platform staff, who assist mobility-impaired passengers, dispatch the trains and provide travel advice, and booking office clerks. The platform building houses rail staff offices, passenger toilets and a waiting room, a café, and a British Transport Police station
Each platform is equipped with an electronic departure screen, and manual announcements are made over a public address system. There are three self-service ticket vending machines available for passengers to purchase or collect pre-paid tickets. Due to there being ticket purchasing facilities available 24 hours a day, passengers boarding trains here must purchase their tickets before boarding the train
