It was officially advertised as Flag Station from September 14 1931, the name given as Sir Watkin or his staff would stop the train by raising a flag

It gained the 'Halt' suffix from July 4 1938 and finally became Glan Llyn Halt on September 25 1950

There were never freight facilities here and it closed in 1965 but it is now a station on the Bala Lake Railway opening in 1973
