Bonwm Halt
(1935 - 1964 )
Bonwm Halt was a minor station on the Ruabon to Barmouth line via LLangollen
It was of timber construction and only 1 carriage length long. There was a timber waiting shelter and a dual-sided nameboard so the halt's name could be seen from the road as well
There was never a signal box, passing place nor freight facilities at Bonwm. At that time, 2 trains per day stopped at the halt, conveying 2 boys to the Grammar School at Bala and returning them in the evening
It was to have closed to passengers on January 18 1965 but closed prematurely on December 14 1964 due to flood damage and just a few wooden supports survive of the platform edge
Work started in 2011 by the Llangollen Railway Preservation Society to rebuild the line between Carrog and Corwen. By 2013, the line had been relaid up to the site of Bonwm Halt, though there are no plans
to rebuild the platform and shelter
