Brynkir
(1867 - 1964)
Brynkir Station was situated on the Menai Bridge – Afon Wen line opening in September 1867
The railway was single-track but a passing loop was provided and the station was provided with two platforms. There were two brick buildings on the down side of the line (Afon Wen direction). The southernmost was the main station building, a single-storey structure that housed the booking office and on the ‘up’ platform there was a simple timber waiting shelter
Brynkir had goods sidings, a timber goods shed and a cattle dock at the south of the station
In October 1867, there were five up and five down departures Monday to Saturday and one in each direction on Sundays
By July 1922, there were eight up and six down departures Monday to Saturday but no Sunday trains
The summer 1948 timetable showed eight up and eight down trains Monday to Friday with an extra up departure on Saturdays
The 1963 ‘Beeching’ Report recommended that the line between Caernarfon and Afon Wen be closed completely. This was despite the still very heavy holiday traffic in the summer. The line closed completely on December 7 1964
The station buildings survived in a derelict condition until the early 1980s
