Ynys
(1872 - 1964)
Ynys Station opened on the Menai Bridge to Afon Wen line in July 1872. It was the smallest station on the line
There was a single low-level platform with a building consisting of booking office, ladies waiting room and general waiting room. There was also a brick-built house for the Station Master
There was a little-used locked siding for goods services
By December 1895, Ynys had three up and four down departures on weekdays with an extra train in each direction on Mondays. There was also one train in each direction on Sundays
The summer 1948 timetable showed seven up and seven down trains on Monday to Saturday, there was no service on Sundays
Because of Butlin's Camp, scheduled passenger services had improved by the mid 1950s. The summer timetable for 1957 showed eight up and seven down trains Monday to Saturday. There were many other trains that did not call at Ynys
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 between Caernarfon and Afon Wen closed on December 7 1964
The line through Ynys was not lifted immediately, and track was still in situ in 1968. The station platforms survived in a derelict condition until the early 1980s
In May 2012, the stationmaster’s house was in use as a private dwelling
