Bont Newydd railway station
Bont Newydd railway station (sometimes shown as Bontnewydd) in Gwynedd, Wales, was a station on the now-closed Ruabon to Barmouth line. Originally a single-line station, a crossing loop was installed in 1923 and a second platform constructed out of old sleepers. A corrugated iron shelter was provided on the Down platform. The main station building was on the Up platform and contained a booking office, a general waiting room, a ladies' room and a Gents' WC. There was a siding on the up side capable of holding fifteen wagons. A signal box controlled the single-line sections to Dolgellau in one direction and Drws-y-Nant in the other. The box also controlled the adjacent level crossing. Today, the brick platform remains. The station-master's house across the road remains and is still occupied. According to the Official Handbook of Stations the following classes of traffic were being handled at this station in 1956: G & P and there was no crane.
