Llanfairpwll
(1848 - 1966 1970 - 1973 1973)


Llanfairpwll railway station is a station on the North Wales Coast Line from Chester to Holyhead, serving the village of Llanfairpwllgwyngyll, Anglesey

Opened in 1848 it was initially the terminus of the line from Holyhead before the opening of the Britannia Bridge to the mainland in 1850

It was closed in 1966 but reopened in 1970 due to the fire on the Britannia Bridge with a single wooden platform. It was again closed in January 1973 for four months and reopened with two non-wooden platforms

The station is unstaffed and has no ticket provision - these must be bought on the train or prior to travel. Waiting shelters are provided on each platform and train running details offered via timetable posters and digital information screens

The goods sidings and yard have disappeared under a car park. The station master's house was sold in 1994 to a private company and is now a warehouse shop
