Sandycroft
(1884 - 1961)
Sandycroft Station was situated on the Holyhead to Chester line which opened from Chester to Bangor on May 1 1848 and through to Holyhead in March 1850
The station was only provided with two timber-built platforms situated on the slow lines
Located on the west side of an overbridge, the station’s facilities were not as grand as those provided at other stations on the line
A brick-built single-storey booking facility was provided at road level
Wooden waiting facilities with awnings were provided on the platforms and there were railway workers cottages, which still stand today, located close to the station site
Throughout its life, the station was mostly served by local stopping trains running to various locations along the North Wales Coast. Most traffic passed through the station on the fast lines including the famous ‘Irish Mail’
The Station closed to passengers and goods on the May 1 1961 and by 1986 the line had been reduced to two fast tracks
Nothing survives other than a road name to show that a station existed at this location
