Llanwnda formerly Pwllheli Road
(1867 - 1964)
Llanwnda Station opened as Pwllheli Road in September 1867 on the Afon Wen line to Menai Bridge
The line was single-track with one platform
The June 1869 timetable advertised five trains in each direction plus one train to Afon Wen on Sunday
Pwllheli Road was renamed Llanwnda in September 1877
By 1895, Llanwnda had six northbound and five southbound Monday to Friday trains with extra services on Saturdays but only one train on Sunday
In summer 1948, there were only six northbound and seven southbound Monday to Friday trains with an additional northbound on Saturdays. No Sunday trains ran. The line through Llanwnda was very busy as many specials were run to the Butlin’s Holiday Camp but most of these trains did not stop at Llanwnda
By the late 1950s, few passengers used the station. Until the mid 1950s newspapers were delivered on the early morning train, but otherwise it was a quiet place. The ‘Beeching Report’ recommended complete closure with the line between Caernarfon and Afon Wen which took place on December 7 1964
The station building and platform were demolished in the 1970s and in 2000 much of the station site was lost when the junction between the Pwllheli and Porthmadog roads was remodelled
