Red Wharf Bay Railway
(1908 - 1930)
The Red Wharf Bay branch line was a standard gauge railway line in Anglesey, a branch off the Anglesey Central Railway. It opened fully in 1909
The first passenger service of the morning started from Bangor, and would return there in the evening. Seven return services to Red Wharf Bay were provided each day, from either Gaerwen (where the Anglesey Central Railway met the main line) or Holland Arms
The growth of road motor transport was particularly damaging for the branch: the remote terminus of the railway meant their passengers had a long walk to get to either Benllech or Red Wharf Bay, but buses could operate all the way to the villages. Falling passenger numbers in the 1920s, and the onset of the Great Depression led to the removal of passenger services on September 22 1930, leaving only the daily goods service which continued until April 3 1950, and the tracks were lifted during the summer of 1953
