Ceint railway station was situated on the Red Wharf Bay branch line between Holland Arms and Benllech, the first station after the line branched from the main Anglesey Central Railway. Opening in 1908 it was a very simple station with only one short (60ft) platform on the Up (south-east) side and a wooden waiting hut. It was an unstaffed request stop with neither goods yard nor sidings. Ordnance Survey maps show that this, along with the station next on the line Rhyd-y-Saint are two of the most remote on the island.

When the line closed to passengers in 1930 the station building was removed. Although the tracks were taken up in 1953 the platform itself is still visible from a nearby road bridge.
