Caernarvon (Pant)
(1867 - 1871)


Carnarvon (Pant) was the temporary northern terminus of the Carnarvonshire Railway, located on the southern fringe of Caernarfon, Wales

The station appears to have been built on rented land, as in November 1868 a Mr Rice Thomas threatened to eject the railway from the station for non-payment of rent. The facilities included a platform and a turntable, both still traceable on the land in the 1940s and a siding which acted as an open air engine shed

A tunnel under the historic centre to join the various routes into Caernarvon and when this was completed in 1871 Pant station was closed

Freight and passenger trains passed through the edge of the station site until December 7 1964, when all services were withdrawn. The line was lifted in 1969
